Perth’s city centre still holds original fireplaces — in heritage pubs off Barrack Street, converted colonial buildings near Cathedral Square, and a growing list of wood-fired kitchens. FreshDuct sweeps, inspects and repairs them.
Original city fireplace or a restaurant wood oven flue? Get it swept and inspected before you use it.
It surprises people that the Perth CBD has chimneys at all, because so few are visible from street level. The colonial-era fabric that survives — the pubs and hotels around Barrack and William Streets, the buildings clustered near Cathedral Square and the Town Hall, and the older frontages that were kept when the towers went up behind them — was all built around solid fuel. Those flues are still inside the walls, and every fit-out has to decide what to do with them.
The work divides cleanly in two. Heritage conversions regularly reopen a bricked-up fireplace as a feature, and the flue above it has typically had a century of neglect, a bird nest or two, and a top that was capped carelessly during a re-roof. The other half is hospitality: the city has a real concentration of wood-fired ovens and charcoal grills, and those flues load with grease very much faster than any domestic chimney and carry a genuine fire risk once the cleaning schedule slips.
FreshDuct handles both. We camera the flue before anything is lit, sweep and degrease properly, repair crowns, caps and flashing at height, and issue a dated photo report — the kind of documentation a strata committee, a landlord or an insurer will actually accept without argument.
The things we look at first on a Perth CBD chimney — based on the local housing and conditions.
Much of the surviving city building stock is heritage-listed or sits in a heritage precinct, so visible chimney work must match the original brick and mortar. We repair sympathetically rather than patching with modern grey cement.
Fireplaces get bricked up, rendered over and reopened again across successive fit-outs. Before a reopened city flue is used we camera the full run and check the termination, because what sits at the top is rarely what the plans show.
City kitchens running wood-fired ovens build grease in the flue far faster than a home fireplace does. We clean to a schedule that suits the volume you actually cook, and document each visit for insurance.

A CBD chimney job is as much about access as it is about masonry. Terminations sit on parapets, above trafficked footpaths and alongside neighbouring tenancies. We plan the access first, work contained, and keep the disruption to the building predictable.
Where repointing, a new cap or a crown repair is needed on a heritage frontage, we match the original so the finished chimney still reads as part of the building rather than as a patch.
FreshDuct covers the Perth CBD and the immediate city fringe 7 days a week — heritage conversions, hotels, pubs, restaurants and residential towers alike.
