Went to fit a cap this morning to stop birds getting in a chimney. Had a look inside and found a mother nesting over her eggs. Legally I cant interfere with nesting birds (and I don't want to) so I climbed back down and will return later in the year when the jackdaw and her young have flown the nest.

Birds and there nests can cause all sorts of issues in chimneys as can rain water getting in and causing damp. Best to get a cap or cowl fitted if you can

New customer reported their logburner was suddenly smoking back. I swept the chimney and ran a smoke test - the draw wasn't quite right so I put CCTV up the chimney. Could tell immediately that the cowl was completely blocked.

Attempted to clear the cowl but its was solid. New cowl fitted and all now working.

Some new clothes! Two hoddies to keep me warm on roofs and 5 polo's. Starting to push the Hetas branding more now. Hopefully get the van updated with some Hetas stickers as well.

Using a HETAS-approved chimney sweep ensures your chimney is cleaned, inspected, and maintained to the highest safety standards, reducing the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning

Always nice to be asked to do something different. The second time I've been asked to sweep the Gonadal at Coniston for the National Trust.

I don't just do logburners and open fires you know!

I do boiler stoves, shepherds huts, saunas and alsorts!
