At London Fireplace and Chimney Services Ltd, we offer the full service. Before you do anything else, it's imperative that you have the chimney cleaned and inspected. This is to ensure that the chimney is sound (no smoke leaking in to other rooms/flues/next door), the pots and terminals on top of the chimney are correct, the ventilation in the room is adequate, the condition of the stack is acceptable and the chimney is suitable for your desired appliance. Our chimney sweep will advise on the necessity of the chimney being lined, remove your unwanted fireplace if you wish,  and carry out a site survey to let you know what appliances will be suitable for your chimney and room. Even after your appliance has been fitted, it is vitally important that your chimney be cleaned at least once a year, possibly more often depending on the type of appliance and fuel used. This is because chimneys, especially in older London houses, can deteriorate quickly, which can result in harmful gases such as Carbon Monoxide entering your home. Our chimney sweep is fully qualified, HETAS approved, and a member of the National Association of Chimney Sweeps.   Once you have chosen your fireplace, whether one of ours or purchased somewhere else, it will be beautifully installed by our expert GAS SAFE and HETAS registered fitters. We can run gas or electricity supplies, adapt and make good brickwork and plastering, reline the chimney if required, replace unsuitable pots and terminals and repair pointing on the stack. Our engineers can do almost aything chimney and fireplace related.
