Chimney Maintenance & Repair in North Devon and Cornwall
Your chimney plays a vital role in the safe operation of your fireplace, stove, or solid fuel cooker. Often overlooked, it functions as your home’s exhaust system, guiding smoke, gases, and combustion by-products safely out of your property. Without regular maintenance, your chimney could pose a serious risk to your home and health.
Common issues such as blockages, smoke leaks, tar or creosote build-up, poor ventilation, down draughts, and insufficient draw can all affect how well your chimney functions. Left untreated, these problems can lead to reduced heating efficiency, dangerous fumes entering your home, and even chimney fires.
At The Fire Works, we provide comprehensive chimney inspection, maintenance, and repair services throughout North Devon, Exmoor, and North Cornwall. Whether your property has an open fire, wood burner, or multi-fuel stove, we’ll ensure your chimney is in safe working condition and compliant with current safety standards.
Regular chimney inspections are essential—especially if your chimney is in frequent use or you’ve recently moved into a new home. You may not know when the chimney was last cleaned, inspected, or repaired, so it’s best to schedule a professional assessment for peace of mind.
Our team of HETAS-registered engineers is trained to identify and resolve a wide range of chimney problems. From smoke testing and sweeping to relining, cowl fitting, brickwork repairs, and tar removal, we tailor our services to meet your property’s needs. We also offer CCTV chimney inspections to assess internal damage or blockages with precision.
A well-maintained chimney improves safety, enhances fuel efficiency, and prolongs the life of your fireplace or stove. Whether you’re dealing with an obvious issue or simply want to stay on top of routine maintenance, we’re here to help.
