At Ash Chimney Services, we understand that every home and chimney is different. That’s why we tailor our services to suit each individual property and customer. From routine sweeping to specialist chimney repairs, we cover all aspects of chimney care throughout Perthshire, Dundee, Angus, and Fife.
Below is a summary of the services we offer. If you have any questions or would like advice about your chimney, please don’t hesitate to get in touch via our Contact Us page, we’re always happy to help.
Chimney Sweeping
We provide professional sweeping services for both domestic and commercial chimneys, ensuring your fireplace operates safely and efficiently. Using a combination of traditional brush techniques and modern industrial vacuums, we carry out every job with care and precision, guaranteeing no mess and minimal disruption to your home.
As part of our service, we also conduct a visual inspection of your flue and a smoke evacuation test to check for any blockages or leaks, giving you complete peace of mind.
Chimney Pot Installation & Repairs
Whether you need a new chimney pot fitted or an existing one repaired, we offer a range of styles, materials, and colours to suit your property’s character. We also carry out essential repairs to the flaunching, the mortar that secures the chimney pot, ensuring your chimney remains safe, weatherproof, and structurally sound.
Chimney Cowls Supplied & Fitted
A properly fitted cowl can dramatically improve the safety and performance of your chimney. We supply and install a variety of cowls, each designed for specific purposes, including:
-
Rain guards to prevent water ingress
-
Anti-downdraught cowls to reduce smoke blowback into your room
-
Ventilating cowls to enhance up-draught and improve chimney draw
If you’re unsure which type of cowl would best suit your chimney, we’re happy to offer advice.
Chimney Caps for Disused Flues
Unused chimneys can cause problems if left open to the elements. We install breathable chimney caps on disused flues to keep out rain, birds, and debris, while allowing air circulation to prevent damp issues within the chimney stack.
When an old chimney is being brought back into use, we can safely remove these caps and check the chimney’s condition before re-use.
Birds’ Nest Removal
Birds’ nests in chimneys can be both hazardous and problematic, causing blockages, chimney fires, and issues with ventilation. Removing them, especially if they’ve been undisturbed for years, requires specialist equipment and techniques.
We carefully dismantle and clear nests, ensuring that no debris remains and that your chimney is safe to use again. A smoke test or CCTV survey may also be recommended afterwards to confirm the flue is clear.
Smoke Testing
A smoke test is a vital safety check, used to confirm that your chimney is drawing properly and free from leaks. We carry out smoke tests to identify issues such as:
-
Cracks or damage in the chimney lining
-
Blockages
-
Poor ventilation or back-draughts
If we find a problem, we can either advise on the best course of action or recommend a trusted specialist for more extensive repairs.
CCTV Chimney Surveys
Using modern digital CCTV equipment, we can inspect the inside of your chimney flue and record high-quality images for analysis. This allows us to:
-
Check for structural issues or obstructions
-
Confirm nest removal
-
Identify cracks, deterioration, or other potential problems
It’s an invaluable service if you’ve experienced chimney issues or are considering reinstating a disused fireplace.
