FreshDuct sweeps and inspects chimneys and heater flues across Modbury — original 1960s fireplaces and the gas and wood appliances fitted to them since.
Gas log fire in an old fireplace? Gas appliances need flue checks too.
Modbury’s original 1960s and 70s homes were built with simple brick fireplaces, and what happened to them since divides fairly neatly. A large proportion were converted to gas — log effect or radiant units fitted into the existing opening — from the 1970s onwards. Others had slow-combustion wood heaters installed. Some were simply sealed up and forgotten when ducted heating arrived.
The gas conversions are the ones most often overlooked. There is a widespread assumption that a gas fire does not need a chimney service because it does not make soot, and that is a misunderstanding with real consequences. A gas appliance still relies on the flue to remove combustion products, and if that flue is partly blocked by a bird nest, fallen mortar or debris, the risk is carbon monoxide entering the room — which, unlike smoke, gives no warning at all. Meanwhile the sealed-and-forgotten fireplaces get reopened by new owners with no idea what is above them.
FreshDuct inspects all three categories. We camera and sweep wood-burning flues, inspect and clear flues serving gas appliances, and survey sealed and reopened fireplaces before anything is lit. Clearances, terminations, caps and the condition of the masonry all get checked, and you get a dated photo report.
The things we look at first on a Modbury chimney — based on the local housing and conditions.
A gas log or radiant fire relies on the flue to remove combustion products. A blocked flue on a gas appliance is a carbon monoxide risk that gives no warning, which makes inspection more important, not less.
Plenty of Modbury fireplaces were closed off when ducted heating arrived. When a new owner reopens one, the flue above has usually had decades with no attention at all.
Sixty years of weather on a simple post-war stack top leaves cracked capping and missing cowls, which is how nests and debris get in and water gets down.

We hear it often: the fire is gas, so the chimney does not need doing. Gas appliances produce no visible soot, which is exactly why a problem with the flue can go unnoticed until it is serious.
The flue still has to carry combustion products safely out of the building. We check it, clear it if it needs it, and confirm the termination is sound — a short job that removes a risk with no warning signs.

Yes. A gas appliance still depends on the flue to carry combustion products out of the building, and a flue partly blocked by a nest, fallen mortar or debris creates a carbon monoxide risk that produces no smoke and no warning. We inspect and clear the flue and confirm the termination is sound.
Often yes, after a survey. Sealed flues in these homes have typically had no attention for decades and commonly contain nests, debris and fallen mortar, and the termination may have been capped or rendered over during a re-roof. We camera the full run and tell you honestly what it needs.
