Fire authorities recommend cleaning chimneys and flues every year. If you notice smoke, poor draw, a strong soot smell, birds, leaks or heavy creosote, book an inspection before using the fireplace again.

FAQs

Melbourne Chimney Questions

How often should a chimney be cleaned in Melbourne?

Fire authorities recommend cleaning chimneys and flues at least once a year, ideally before winter. If you burn often or notice creosote, smoke or odours, it may need attention sooner.

Do you inspect chimneys with a camera or drone?

Yes — alongside a thorough visual and photo inspection, we can use a flue camera and, for hard-to-reach roofs, drone inspection, so nothing is missed.

Can you fix smoke coming back into the room?

Often, yes. Smoke and downdraft issues usually trace back to blockages, a missing cowl, a faulty damper or draught problems — we diagnose the cause and recommend the right fix.

Do you repair chimney brickwork and leaks?

Yes — we carry out brick repair, repointing, waterproofing and flashing/leak repairs in-house, and can restore older Melbourne chimneys where suitable.

Do you install caps, cowls and flues?

Yes — we install chimney caps, cowls and spark arrestors, and can install or replace flues and liners to keep out rain, birds and embers.

Which Melbourne areas do you service?

We service chimneys across Melbourne and surrounding suburbs, 7 days a week. Call 04 3191 8137 or request a quote and we’ll confirm availability for your address.
