Keep your chimney working safely
KJ Flue and Fire LTD carries out chimney sweeping for wood burners, multi-fuel stoves and open fires, helping keep your appliance safe and performing efficiently. A blocked or dirty flue can reduce draught, cause unpleasant odours indoors and increase the risk of smoke or carbon monoxide issues. Every sweep begins with an inspection for soot build-up, bird nests and other obstructions before selecting the most suitable sweeping method.
Traditional rods are ideal for some flues, while power sweeping provides a more thorough clean where required. During the inspection, we can also identify any issues that may require chimney repairs, helping prevent minor defects from developing into more significant problems. We also offer honest advice on sweep frequency, appliance safety, weatherproofing recommendations and any maintenance your chimney may need.

Expert chimney stack repairs and ventilation solutions
In regard to making suitable a chimney stack for installation or clearing a blockage from the chimney, replacing a broken chimney, or fitting suitable bird and weather guards, we have developed sharp skills in chimney repairs. From the bottom of the stack to the top, we repair flashing, repoint brickwork, replace capstones and replace chimney cans. We can rebuild the stack from scratch.
Water ingress is a common enemy of the house, and an unexpected culprit is from the flues of the chimney, whether from capped and boarded flues which struggle to breathe and allow condensation to fall back through the walls or a closed system like a stove's flexible flue that has been compromised and is leaking flue gas residue into the open chimney. Having a qualified chimney sweep and stove installer who can also fix these issues is paramount to get the full diagnosis and treatment of the issue.
We take to drilling pilot ventilation holes, fitting ventilated caps on the roof, clearing blockages and redirecting stale air in a manner that doesn't compromise the ventilation and heating needs of the house.
A thorough visit, not just a quick brush-through
Every visit starts with a careful inspection to identify blockages, visible defects and ventilation issues that could affect performance. KJ Flue and Fire LTD then sweeps the flue with the most appropriate equipment before checking the flue and airflow conditions. If we find bird nests, weather-related wear or minor faults, we'll explain what needs attention now and what can be monitored.
CCTV chimney inspections and testing are available when a more detailed assessment is required, particularly for recurring smoke problems or properties with an unknown chimney history. We also issue an insurance-approved chimney sweeping certificate once the work is complete. Contact us today to arrange a professional chimney sweeping service.
