Chimneys in Birchington
Birchington has a mix of older cottages in the village centre and a lot of twentieth-century houses and bungalows nearer the sea. Bungalows have short, exposed chimneys that take the full force of the wind, so cowls, pots and flashings are worth a look at every sweep. Newer houses often have a liner already, but it is still worth checking it is intact before you fit a stove.
What a Birchington-on-Sea sweep includes
- Visual inspection of the chimney stack, chimney pot and cowl
- Visual inspection of any appliance and installation for safety and compliance (HETAS)
- Chimney sweeping (ensuring no blockages are present)
- Smoke evacuation test of chimney flue
- Visual inspection of CO alarm
- HETAS approved certificate of Chimney Sweeping (home insurance approved)
We use dust sheets and a vacuum, so your room is left clean.
More than sweeping
If the inspection shows a problem, we can help with the fix: chimney fault finding, integrity tests, camera inspections of the flue, cowls, caps and bird guards, nest removal, chimney stack repair, flue lining and wood-burning stove installation. See our chimney sweeping, flue liner and log burner installation pages for detail.
We also work in nearby Westgate and Margate, and across the Isle of Thanet. You can also see all our chimney sweeping areas in Kent, or contact us to book.
