Our approach to a fireplace inspection
When a hose water test helps
Some leaks do not show themselves on the day of the visit. When the job calls for it, we can run a hose water test. One part of the chimney is wetted at a time to see where water appears inside. It narrows the search when looking alone is not enough.
The test is not part of every inspection. We explain why it would help in your case, what it involves and whether it can be done on the same visit. If it is needed, it is agreed before we start, like any other step.
When the flue needs cleaning to be judged
A thick layer of soot hides the surface of the flue. Cracks, gaps and missing joints can be impossible to judge under it. In that case, we tell you which parts could be seen and which could not.
If the unanswered part matters, a cleaning may need to come before a full judgment of the lining. We explain whether that is likely to change the decision in front of you. If it is not, we do not suggest it. That keeps the steps to the ones that actually help you decide.
Inspecting a damper at the flue top
A damper at the top of the flue closes with a plate that seals against a gasket, controlled by a cable from the fireplace. We check that it opens fully, closes firmly and that the gasket is intact.
A stretched cable, a torn gasket or a weak spring stops it working as it should. We note each fault and whether it affects use. Repairs are priced separately, and we follow the damper's own instructions when describing them. We also check that the damper suits the fuel and the flue it serves.
Chimney inspections in rented homes
In a rented home, the tenant and the owner may both have an interest in the inspection. Tell us who is arranging it, who should receive the findings and who approves repairs.
The tenant can often describe how the fireplace behaves, and the owner decides on work. We can share the written estimate with both if you ask. Clear roles avoid a repair being approved by someone who cannot authorize it. Access for the visit is usually easiest to arrange through the person living there.

Chimney safety inspection questions
Can you inspect the chimney for a house sale?
Yes. Tell us what the buyer or seller needs to know and any deadline. The scope is agreed at the start. Findings are explained and written down, and repairs come with a free written estimate.
Should I have the chimney inspected after roof work?
It is a sensible step. Roof work disturbs the flashing and can leave debris or tarps on the chimney top. We look at the top, the flashing and the flue for anything that changed.
What if your findings differ from an earlier opinion?
Show us the earlier findings. We look at the same parts and explain where we agree, where we differ and why. The goal is a clear basis for your decision.
