Repairs in Keysborough split by the age of the home: flue joints, flashing kits and terminals on the estate heaters, mortar, crowns and liners on the older brick chimneys. FreshDuct inspects with a camera first and quotes only what has failed.
Smoke smell in the roof space of an estate home? A parted flue joint above the ceiling is the usual find — we check before you burn again.
On the estate side of Keysborough the chimney is a twin-wall steel flue running from an inbuilt heater up through the ceiling, the roof space and out through a flashing kit on the tiles. The things that go wrong are joints that part where the flue was not locked properly, flashing that has lifted or perished and let water track down the flue, and terminals that have corroded. None of it is masonry, and none of it costs much if it is caught early.
The established homes across the older streets have the opposite kind of chimney: solid brick, unlined, with mortar that is now sandy at the joints, a crown that has cracked and a flashing that has been on the roof for decades. Inside, the joints between the flue bricks open with age, and where they have, the flue needs a stainless liner before it should carry another fire.
Because the two need entirely different repairs, every Keysborough job starts with a camera and photo inspection of the flue and the stack or flashing, and the quote covers only what the camera found. Flue sections are relocked or replaced and flashing kits resealed on the estate homes; brick is repointed, crowns rebuilt and liners fitted on the older ones. Gas flues are handled with the licensed gas specialists we arrange.
Flue joint, flashing, crown, mortar and relining repairs across Keysborough's newer and older homes, quoted firm after a photographed inspection.
A twin-wall flue in an estate home runs unseen through the roof space, and a joint that has worked loose leaks heat and smoke into it. We inspect the full run, relock or replace the section and confirm it draws before the heater is used again.
The rubber and metal flashing kit around a steel flue on a Keysborough tile roof perishes and lifts, letting water track down the flue into the ceiling. We reseal or replace it and check the terminal at the same time.
Keysborough's older brick chimneys have sandy mortar, split crowns and unlined flues. We repoint with a matched mix, rebuild the crown to shed water and quote a stainless liner only where the camera shows the flue joints have opened.
Real photos from Melbourne jobs — not stock, not staged.
A flue joint or a flashing kit is a small repair on a Keysborough estate home if it is found early, and a large one if it has let water or heat into the roof space for a winter. The inspection is photographed and the price firm before any work.
On the older homes the same rule applies to mortar: repointing now is a modest job, and a leaning stack later is not. Photos of the fault come with the quote and photos of the repair come with the invoice.

Most often a joint in the steel flue has parted above the ceiling and is leaking into the roof space. Stop using the heater until it is checked. We inspect the full flue run, relock or replace the section that has moved and confirm the flue is sealed before you light it again.
Yes, because the weather works on the mortar whether or not you light the fire. Sandy joints and a cracked crown let water into the stack, and that does more damage to the brick and the ceiling around it than an occasional fire ever will.
White staining, crumbling mortar, loose or missing bricks, rust marks on the roof, water in the firebox after rain, or smoke seeping into rooms are the usual signs. A photographed inspection tells you what is cosmetic and what is not.
Yes — stainless steel liners for cracked or unlined flues on open fireplaces and wood heaters, quoted firm after a camera inspection. Gas flue work goes through the licensed gas specialists we arrange.
Often, with roof access and harness work. Taller or unstable stacks need scaffold, and we tell you before quoting rather than after.
