Chimney Services in Yarralumla

Multiple Flues, Large Homes and Official Residences

There is a neat circularity to chimney work in Yarralumla: the Brickworks at the western end of the suburb produced a great deal of the brick that Canberra was built from, including a fair share of the chimneys now standing on Yarralumla roofs. The housing ranges from early workers’ cottages through to very substantial homes, and at the larger end it is common to find three or four separate fireplaces in one house, each with its own flue, some in use and some closed off decades ago.

Multiple flues are the defining technical feature here, and they get treated far too often as a single item. They are not. Each flue has its own history of use, its own accumulation, its own condition of parging, and its own share of a crown and flashing that may be sound in one place and failing in another. Disused flues are the ones that catch people out: they still collect water, they still take nests, and where the brickwork dividing them has degraded they can let smoke from a working flue cross into a room nobody is using.

So we inspect flue by flue and report flue by flue. Camera down each one, assess the stack, crown and flashing as a whole from the roof, and give you a per-flue answer: sweep it, repair it, cap it, or leave it sealed. On official and diplomatic properties we work to the access and documentation requirements set by the property, and everything comes back photographed and dated regardless.
