WHAT IS OUR SERVICE?

CCTV INSPECTION

WE USE CCTV CAMERAS TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEMS

It can be extremely difficult to diagnose a chimney problem. In the past, you would have had to knock a hole into the chimney, work with a very messy, limited point of access and no guarantee of finding the cause.

THE BENEFITS

There are a number of reasons why you should consider a CCTV chimney inspection:

ROTATION

Our CCTV cameras have a 360° rotation and swivel  views of 180° to provide clear footage of the entire flue.

NO DAMAGE

Our CCTV cameras are small and compact, so no damage will be caused to your chimney.

TIME EFFICIENT

It’s a very quick way of identifying the problems with your chimney, as our chimney camera survey only takes around an hour to complete.

FOOTAGE & REPORTS

We will email you with photos of the footage and a report detailing any issues – perfect if you are a landlord or are selling your property.

INFORMED DECISION

CCTV Chimney Inspections give you the knowledge you need in order to decide whether or not you can safely use your flue.

HOW WE GATHER

CCTV FOOTAGE

FAST – CLEAN – EFFECTIVE

Using the very latest technology for our CCTV chimney inspection services, Rotasure offers a fast, clean, and effective way to identify any problems that might arise in your chimney. A high-quality video camera can be used to record video footage of your chimney so that it can be used to identify any problems or issues you may encounter and suggest appropriate solutions.

WHY CHOOSE THIS SERVICE?

THE LAW

The Wildlife and Country Act

The Wildlife and Country Act prohibits the destruction or removal of an active nest during the nesting season that usually lasts from March through August. In summary, it is vital to arrange a bird nest removal service as soon as possible. It is necessary to wait until the end of August to make sure that the nest is empty and is able to be removed. In general, you should arrange a bird nest removal service as soon as possible.

SAFETY

Potential To Cause Health Problems

Whilst it may feel somewhat inhumane to clear out nests and pests, they have the potential to cause health problems, fires, blockages and could lead to Carbon Monoxide poisoning.
Histoplasmosis is a respiratory disease that may be fatal. It results from a fungus growing in dried bird droppings.

CHECKS

Inspection And Smoke Draught Test

To confirm that the chimney is clear and that the flue is drawing correctly, the chimney is inspected by CCTV and a smoke draught test is conducted after the debris has been removed.

PREVENTION

Have A Bird Guard Fitted

‍Rooks, Jackdaws and Starlings, often the birds to blame for bird nests in your chimney, usually try to return year after year to the same nesting site. To deter birds from nesting in the future, it is recommended that you have a bird guard fitted.‍

WE CAN REMOVE

BIRDS NESTS

Due to the warmth and shelter provided by chimneys,birds find chimneys to be the ideal place to set up residence.

However, having birds or other pests in your chimney can result in dangerous blockages, chimney fires, and infestations that can be extremely dangerous and costly.

COMMON SIGNS OF BIRDS NESTS IN YOUR CHIMNEY

DEBRIS

NEW HOME BUYERS

CHIMNEY REPORT

It is important to have your fireplace and chimney inspected if you are moving into a house with an existing fireplace.

You may not realize it, but the consequences of ignoring potential dangers here are just too great to bear considering. Even if the previous owners used the fireplace, that does not mean there isn’t a potentially dangerous accident waiting to happen.

WHY SHOULD YOU INSPECT THE FLUE AND CHIMNEY IN YOUR NEW HOME?

Home-buyer reports don’t include fireplace and chimney inspections

Potential issues may go undetected without an inspection

Unknown last inspection date highlights need for regular checks

Ensuring chimney health is crucial for safety and performance

POSSIBLE ISSUES

There are several possible issues that may arise with your chimney:

DETERIORATION

Cracks or material deterioration (due to excessive water or heat), the latter could cause toxic fumes to enter your home.

ANIMAL NESTS

Animal nests may also cause chimney fires if not removed.

HARMFUL SUBSTANCES

Smoke and gas that are expelled from a chimney may enter your loft, basement, or other areas of your home if it is not properly maintained. Smoke and gas can cause serious damage to your home if you do not maintain the chimney correctly.

HEALTH RISKS

When your chimney is clogged, for example, you can breathe in creosote from your firewood, which can be dangerous to your health, so this needs to be removed.

HOW WE CAN

HELP YOU!

An inspection can help to protect you and your family from the chemicals and gases that can be expelled by a fire.

ROTASURE can check to see whether your chimney is functioning properly or if it needs repairs before you can burn safely. We’ll conduct a thorough inspection, explain everything to you, and answer any questions to give you peace of mind when you use your chimney.
