Chimneys in an old market town
Faversham is an old market town with a medieval centre and a large number of timber-framed, Tudor and Georgian buildings, many of them listed. In houses that old, chimney stacks can be large, shared between rooms or between neighbouring buildings, and built with older brick and lime mortar. If you are thinking of a stove or any work on a stack, check with Swale Borough Council first, because listed building consent may apply.
What a Faversham 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 Whitstable, Herne Bay and Canterbury. You can also see all our chimney sweeping areas in Kent, or contact us to book.
