Chimney animal removal in Belmere

Fireplace doors as a barrier

Glass fireplace doors add a second barrier in front of the damper. If your fireplace has them, keep them closed and latched until the chimney is clear. If it has only a mesh curtain, a closed damper is the main barrier, and cardboard taped over the opening can add a temporary one. Remove any temporary covering before the fireplace is used again. Never block the damper opening in a way that keeps you from checking on what is behind it.

What changes the price of the job

Every chimney animal job is priced from what we find, never from a flat rate. The factors are listed below, and each one appears as its own line on the written estimate. A written price for each factor also lets you phase the work, such as cleanup now and a new cap later.

• Roof height and access to the chimney top
• How much nest material and debris has to come out
• The cap or screen the chimney needs
• Whether a wildlife specialist is involved
• Any damper, crown or chase repair found along the way

Backed by our satisfaction guarantee

Cleanup, sweeping and cap installation are covered by our workmanship warranty and our 100% satisfaction guarantee. If the finished work falls short in any way, let us know and our crew returns to fix it. Any service you book within 72 hours after the free inspection is 10% off, and the inspection comes first, so you see the full plan before deciding. The discount is written into the estimate, so the price you approve already reflects it. Our satisfaction guarantee covers the cleanup, the sweep and the cap, which are the parts of the job we control.

The written record you keep

When the chimney work is finished, you receive a written record of what we did. It notes what we found in the flue or on the smoke shelf, what we removed, whether a sweep was part of the job and which cap and screen we fitted. The record is plain enough to hand to a home inspector or a buyer, and it shows whoever looks at the chimney next year what changed. If a wildlife specialist handled part of the job, the record names that step as their work, not ours.
