This service evaluates chimney flue evacuation and draft performance through a detailed smoke test, identifying blockages or ventilation issues to ensure safe and compliant operation.
Initial access to the chimney and related flue systems is verified to ensure safe inspection conditions. Relevant property and installation details are gathered to inform the assessment.
A thorough visual inspection of the chimney, flue, and stove condition is conducted to identify any visible damage, blockages, or deterioration that may affect performance.
Preparation includes ensuring the chimney and flue are clear of debris where possible and setting up equipment necessary for the smoke test and ventilation assessment.
A controlled smoke test is performed to observe flue evacuation and draft characteristics, detecting leaks, blockages, or poor ventilation that could compromise safety or efficiency.
Detailed findings are documented, highlighting any issues and compliance considerations. Recommendations for cleaning, repair, or further specialist work are provided, noting any limitations or regulatory requirements.
