There is nothing more annoying than investing in a new fireplace and decorating a room to find that the chimney is not functioning properly. This may be for example as a result of:
Insufficient Draught:
- Air starvation - Throat over fire too large or badly formed
- Fireplace opening too large - Flue offset too low, too abrupt, too long
- Partial blockage of flue - Unsuitable size of flue
- Unsuitable chimney pot - Air leak
No Up-Draught At All:
- Blockage in flue - Cold flue
Chimney Terminates In High Pressure Region:
- Chimney top being in a high pressure region
Down Draught And Difficult Site Conditions:
- Down draught due to room inlets, doors, windows and ventilators being in a low pressure region and wind currents.
Too Much Draught
Condensation
- Through visual inspection, CCTV surveying and smoke testing by our trained personnel these problems can be identified and remedial action recommended and carried out.
