Edinburgh Chimneys

We recently came across a chimney liner that had been fitted for use with a gas fire and the gas fire was live and working, venting straight into the chimney stack under the cope.

This setup is not safe and could easily lead to dangerous fumes, including carbon monoxide, not being properly dispersed.

⚠️ Issues like this aren’t always visible to homeowners everything can seem fine until it isn’t.

That’s why we strongly recommend having your chimney and flue checked at least once a year, especially if you have a gas appliance. Regular inspections help catch unsafe installations before they become a serious risk.

If you’re unsure about your setup or it’s been a while since your last check, get it looked at. Your safety (and your family’s) is worth it. 🔥🏠

Broken or missing chimney pots can cause damp, downdraughts and bird problems 🐦💨

It’s that time of the year again where you need to protect your chimneys from birds nesting.

Chimney cowls are important in preventing blockages in your chimney and ensuring that all those dangerous fumes don’t make their way back into the house.
