    Chimney Clean

    A yearly chimney clean can be one of the most important tasks a homeowner can do to keep their family and property safe and at a price of just €50 it is an extremely good investment.

    The Process

    Firstly the chimney is assessed to check if it has a flue, a steel liner etc. The appropriate head is chosen and protective sheets and other measures put in place.

    On completion of the work the entire site is checked for cleanliness and tidiness.

    Cresote/Sulpher Removal

    As well as a basic chimney clean, Mid West Chimney Cleaning offer a cresote and sulpher removal service. Chimneys are inspected with a camera first to check if the offending material is present, then chains are used to remove the material.

    Cresote and Sulpher are typically not removed by normal cleaning and a build up can cause a serious fire risk. 

    Cresote - One of the potential causes of cresote build up is the practice of burning wood that has not been dried out fully, coal use can also contribute. Another cause could be a flue that is too large for a wood burning stove or fireplace.

    Sulphur - In some cases condensation in the flue can combine with sulphur and also with the sulphates in the chimney to form weak acids which, over a period of time, cause damage to the chimney.

    Camera Inspection

    Camera inspections are typically done to check for blockages caused by nests or sand, cracked flues, a build up of creosote etc. This can be quite important to determine a specific chimney problem and to avoid a trial and error situation when fixing the problem. 

    A common problem exposed by a camera inspection is a cracked flue and this often shows up as sand from the chimney flowing down into the fireplace or stove.

    Chimney Cowls

    Mid west Chimney Cleaning supply and fit all types of chimney cowls. The function of a cowl varies depending on the type used.

    Prevent Backflow - A badly designed chimney can result in poor updraft and can even cause smoke to flow back into the room. Cowls can stabilise the backflow or increase the draught.  

    Prevent Bird Nests - Nests can cause a reduction in the flow of air and therefore smoke from the chimney. In an extreme case it can block the chimney completely and increase the risk of fire. Cowls can prevent birds from getting into the chimney and stops them from building their nests inside it.

    Rain Guard - Cowls can prevent rain from flowing down the chimney.
