Jackdaws and other birds nest in open pots. A nest can block the flue and push smoke or carbon monoxide back into the room. If we find a nest we remove it safely and can fit a guard so it does not happen again.

We fit Brewer bird rain guards, Colt bird guards and caps, gas cowls and disused chimney caps. We will say if the stack itself needs a mason before a terminal will sit safely.

Do chimney cowls stop rain?

Chimney cowls are indeed effective in preventing rainwater from entering the flue. By utilizing various types of cowls, such as rain caps, hooded cowls, and wind-directional cowls, chimney owners can successfully safeguard their flues from rain and the detrimental effects it may have. It is essential, however, to carefully choose the appropriate cowl that suits the specific needs and specifications of your chimney to ensure optimal protection against rain and other elements.

Does an unused chimney need a cowl?

An unused chimney does require a cowl for various reasons. Without a cowl, the chimney can lead to heat wastage, potential damp problems, and cause issues with smoke in fireplaces and stoves. Therefore, it is advised to install a flue ventilator on all chimneys that are not in use.

Do I need an anti downdraft cowl?

In order to determine whether you need an anti downdraft cowl for your chimney, it is crucial to consider certain factors. One of the key factors to take into account is the presence of windy conditions that create drafts and eddies within your chimney. These wind patterns can often lead to a situation where smoke is blown down the chimney and enters your home. To prevent such occurrences, using an anti-downdraft chimney cowl becomes important.
