Cowl
CHIMNEYS IN USE
A chimney cowl is installed on a chimney pot to improve its draw and safety by preventing downdrafts, keeping out rain, snow, and debris. It deters animals from nesting, ultimately ensuring efficient and safe operation of fireplaces and stoves.

Cap
CHIMNEYS NOT IN USE
If the chimney/fireplace is no longer in use, we can seal it off with a cap to prevent water and debris from entering.
Our caps are designed to fit on the pot and offer 100% protection while allowing minimal ventilation of the flue to prevent any moisture or condensation build-up in the chimney flue.
It will also reduce the flow of air in the flue thereby minimises the heat loss from the fireplace.
Chimney Cage
These cages stop seagulls nesting in your chimney stacks. Seagulls always return to nest in the same place every year and if you are unlucky and they choose your chimney you’re going find it hard to stop them without a cage.
We build and install a bespoke seagull cage on your chimney stack. This will cover your chimney stack and stop birds from nesting and all the mess and health hazards that goes with a nest. Seagull will attack us and our pets to protect their chicks.
​
The bespoke cage is made to measure from galvanised steel with 2" holes. It is secured to the brickwork and comes with a 5 year guarantee .
