Before installing your new appliance, it is highly
recommended that the chimney be properly cleared of any debris and soot.
Normally sweeping the chimney in a conventional manor using regular sweeping
brushes will remove only the loose deposits. Creosote or crust deposits from solid
fuel usage will be left behind,
which eventually loosen and fall onto the
gas fire, causing problems
and possible dangers of poisonous CARBON
MONOXIDE gas spilling into the
room. The solution to this problem is to
have the chimney
mechanically
cleared of all debris ready for the
installation of your new appliance. The service involves a high speed flail
passing through the flue and descaling the lining of any build up. This
procedure is completely mess free and carried out
from the roof most of the time, which allows us to closely inspect the
chimney at the same time.

Gas Fire Preperation |

Once the chimney has been cleared, we
will fit a
CRITTER GUARD to prevent damp and bird problems,
protecting your chimney and appliance. This product is heavy duty
and galvanized to prevent rusting and comes with a 10 year guarantee against
wind, storm and weathering damage. The cap is
designed to prevent all bird activity, which could lead to entry into the
room or nesting problems, leading to potentially life threatening fumes from
spilling into the home. (
Also useful for occasionally used solid fuel appliances or Oil systems) Although your gas fire, fitted
correctly, will give you years of comfort and pleasure, we offer you this
advice for your own safety. Ideally we would like to prepare the
chimney for you gas fire before installation, but even
if you have a gas fire already installed it is not to late to benefit from
this service, we can carry out the de-scaling with absolutely no disruption
and then fit the terminal.
