CCTV inspection & gps locating
It can be extremely difficult to diagnose a chimney problem when you can’t see in the chimney.
In the past, you would have had to knock multiple holes into the chimney, which is very messy, to create limited points of access with no guarantee of finding the cause.
There are various reasons and circumstances in which you may want to consider a CCTV Chimney inspection:
Your flue functions poorly or fails an integrity test.
You have suffered a chimney fire – you may have flue damage, which can be dangerous to your home.
You are thinking about buying a property or have recently bought it. Find out if your new chimney is safe to use, or what improvements must be made.
You have had repair work carried out on your chimney and want to ensure all the issues have been properly fixed.
Your chimney has a blockage.
You have decided to reinstate an old chimney.
You want to be aware of potential problems with undertaking a loft conversion or building work.
By using our CCTV Chimney Inspection and GPS Location service you can be assured of a quick, clean and effective way of identifying and locating the problems, along with advice on the appropriate solutions.
HOW WE COMPLETE A CCTV CHIMNEY INSPECTION
When completing a CCTV Chimney Inspection we will:
Secure the area surrounding the chimney/appliance to keep it clean whilst we work.
Seal off the opening of the appliance/chimney opening, leaving a small hole for us to work through.
We then insert the CCTV equipment into the bottom of the chimney and take a thorough 360° view of the entire chimney stack.
(If the flue is overly large or another issue arises where we need to inspect the flue from the top down additional charges will apply.)We then diagnose the footage and feed this back to the customer. If a report is required this can be provided for an additional cost.
If additional work is required on the chimney to make it safe to use we will discuss this with you and book you in for a follow-up appointment.
