Morley’s post-war brick homes came with a lounge-room fireplace, and renovations have hidden, blocked or reopened a great many of them. FreshDuct works out what you actually have.
Fireplace bricked up behind plasterboard? The flue above it is still there, and still open.
Post-war Morley homes were built with a simple brick fireplace in the main living room, and successive waves of renovation have treated those fireplaces very differently. Some were removed properly. Many were closed off behind plasterboard or a built-in unit when open fires fell out of fashion. Others have been rediscovered and reopened during the recent renovations that have swept through the suburb, sometimes by owners who did not know a fireplace was there when they bought the house.
The overlooked case is the one closed off but never decommissioned. Sealing a fireplace at the hearth does nothing to the flue above it: the stack still stands on the roof, usually still open at the top, and it goes on collecting rainwater, wind-blown debris and nesting material for as long as it stands. Damp then works down through the masonry and appears as a stain on a ceiling or a bloom on an internal wall, and because nobody in the house believes they have a chimney, the roof and the plumbing get investigated first.
FreshDuct establishes what is actually there. We inspect the stack from the roof and camera the flue from whatever access exists, identify sealed and abandoned flues, and either decommission them properly with a capped, weathertight termination or restore them if you want the fireplace back. Where a flue is being reopened we camera it fully before anything is lit, and everything is documented with photographs.
The things we look at first on a Morley chimney — based on the local housing and conditions.
Closing a fireplace at the hearth leaves the flue and stack fully exposed at the top. Water and debris keep entering a chimney the household does not know it has.
Moisture entering an abandoned stack works down through the masonry and shows up as a ceiling or wall stain. Roofs and plumbing usually get blamed and repaired first, at some expense.
Post-war single-flue brick stacks are simple to work on, so decommissioning or restoring one is a contained job — provided it is done before the masonry has deteriorated badly.

An abandoned flue is not a neutral thing to leave alone. Open at the top, it takes water and debris indefinitely, and the damage shows up somewhere less obvious and more expensive.
We establish what you have, then either cap and weatherproof it properly or restore it for use — and we tell you honestly which is the better value in your particular house.

Very possibly, especially in a house where a fireplace was closed off at some point. The stack usually remains open at the top and keeps taking in rain, which works down through the masonry and appears well away from the entry point. We inspect from the roof and tell you quickly whether that is what you are dealing with.
Sometimes, and it depends entirely on the flue’s condition. Some are sound and need only a sweep and a proper termination. Others need work that costs more than the fireplace will be worth to a household with ducted heating. We camera it, show you the photos and give you a straight recommendation either way.
