In addition to our work on chimneys, we are the preferred choice for roof repairs in Guildford. Here, we discuss some of the common reasons why you need a chimney safety inspection, including:
Smoke, vapour, unburned wood and other byproducts created from fireplace use can go into your chimney and form creosote. If a thick creosote buildup is created, it can be extremely dangerous because it is highly flammable. During inspections, our experts will look at your chimney's soot and creosote levels and determine if it requires preventative cleaning. We can also advise on all other internal and external elements of chimneys in and around Guildford and Woking, including chimney repointing, to ensure chimneys are in top condition.
Chimneys without a cap can be susceptible to leaves, twigs and animal nests obstructing the chimney. These obstructions can prevent correct ventilation and are combustible, which means a backup of smoke can be created, which could enter your property and expose you and your family to carbon monoxide gas. It can be lethal, so it is vital that you regularly check for obstructions. It is recommended that chimneys be safety checked roughly once a year.
