Chimneys in Herne Bay
Herne Bay is a Victorian seaside town, with terraces and villas behind the seafront and plenty of Edwardian and later housing further back. Chimneys close to the sea get a lot of wind and salt, so pots, cowls and the pointing around the stack are worth checking along with the flue. If you have a wood burner, a bird guard helps keep nests out of the pot.
What a Herne Bay 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, Canterbury and Faversham. You can also see all our chimney sweeping areas in Kent, or contact us to book.
