CHIMNEY INTEGRITY TEST

BRINGING AN OLD CHIMNEY BACK INTO USE? MAKE SURE IT IS SAFE BEFORE YOU LIGHT THAT FIRST FIRE

Restoring a fireplace or reusing an old flue is an exciting project—but it must begin with proper safety checks. Over time, chimneys naturally deteriorate, and their internal condition can vary depending on age, previous usage, fuel types burned, and whether any unapproved modifications have been made.

​

Our Chimney Integrity Testing Service is designed to identify potential hazards and structural issues before you attempt to use the chimney again.

​

Common Reasons to Book a Chimney Integrity Test:

• You’ve purchased a new property and want to assess the condition of the chimney or fireplace

• You’re reopening a closed chimney breast and are considering installing an open fire or stove

• You’ve experienced—or suspect—a chimney fire

• You’ve noticed smoke smells upstairs or had complaints of smoke entering a neighbour’s property

• You simply want peace of mind before using an old or unused flue

​

What the Service Includes:

• Full assessment of chimney structure and condition

• Smoke leakage and pressure testing

• Checks for signs of damage, deterioration, or obstruction

• Identification of previous modifications or improper use

• A clear, written report with recommendations for safe use

​

All inspections are carried out by qualified professionals and National Association of Chimney Sweeps members, ensuring your chimney is in expert hands.
