Why These Chimney Repairs Shouldn’t Wait

Neglecting chimney maintenance leads to:

  • Rainwater leaks and internal damp

  • Mortar decay and falling masonry

  • Carbon monoxide risk from poor flue ventilation

  • Downdrafts, smoke blowback, and poor fireplace draw

  • Bird infestations and blocked flues

Capping and cowls prevent entry. Repointing restores structural integrity.

Why Install a Chimney Cowl?

Chimney cowls are installed to:

  • Prevent birds and squirrels from nesting

  • Stop downdrafts and poor airflow

  • Improve fire draw and combustion efficiency

  • Comply with building regulations for gas and solid fuel appliances

  • Block wind-driven rain

We install rotating cowls, bird guards, anti-downdraft models, and gas-specific cowls based on your chimney type.

Need a Chimney Cap Fitting?

Chimney caps are used to:

  • Completely seal off unused flues to stop water, pests, and draughts

  • Prevent birds, squirrels, and insects from entering the chimney pot

  • Block rainwater that causes internal damp and flue corrosion

  • Reduce debris buildup and improve roof cleanliness

  • Avoid downdraft and heat loss from unused stacks

We supply and fit terracotta, buff, or metal chimney caps in sizes and colours to suit your property, all with rust-proof fixings and breathable designs.

FAQ: Chimney Repair Questions Answered

  • 1. What’s the difference between a chimney cap and cowl?

    A cap seals off an unused flue. A cowl regulates airflow in an active flue and protects it.

  • 2. Do you install cowls for gas appliances?

    Yes. We fit approved gas terminal cowls compliant with Part J regs.

  • 3. Can I use the fire the same day?

    Yes - if we’re fitting a cowl only. For repointing, we recommend waiting 24 - 48 hours.

  • 4. Will I need planning permission?

    Rarely. Most cowl and cap installations are Permitted Development unless in conservation areas.

  • 5. What if my chimney is crumbling?

    We’ll inspect it first. If repointing won’t fix it, we’ll quote for stack restoration.
