Chimney Nest & Blockage Removal

Professional Chimney Sweep Services

A blocked chimney can hinder the safe operation of your fireplace or stove, potentially allowing smoke, fumes, and carbon monoxide to infiltrate your home. At Jones Chimney and Stoves, we specialize in professional chimney blockage removal throughout Basingstoke, Hampshire, and the surrounding areas. If you have a bird nest, debris, or another obstruction impeding your chimney, we can evaluate the situation and safely remove the blockage when possible.

We frequently encounter chimneys obstructed by nesting birds, fallen debris, leaves, mortar, and various other items.

Bird Nests in Chimneys

Chimneys often attract birds, especially in the absence of a chimney cowl or bird guard. A nest within your chimney can create a significant blockage, preventing smoke and combustion gases from escaping properly. This is especially critical for wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, or open fireplaces. 

Signs of a chimney nest or blockage include:

- Smoke seeping back into the room

- Poor draw from your chimney

- A stove or fireplace having difficulty burning properly

- Debris or nesting material dropping into the fireplace

- Unusual odors emanating from the chimney

- Birds entering or exiting the chimney

- A chimney that hasn’t been used for an extended period

- Activation of a carbon monoxide alarm

If you suspect your chimney is obstructed, refrain from using the appliance until a thorough inspection has been conducted.

Chimney Blockage Removal

Blockages in chimneys aren't solely caused by birds; they can also result from:

- Fallen masonry

- Leaves and twigs

- Old nesting materials

- Soot and tar accumulations

- Debris from damaged chimney pots or cowls

- Other foreign objects

We will inspect your chimney to determine the cause of the blockage and perform the necessary removal work. When required, we can utilize chimney inspection equipment to locate and assess the obstruction's condition.

Nest Removal & Chimney Sweeping

After the removal of a nest or blockage, the chimney typically needs a thorough sweep to eliminate any residual soot, debris, and nesting material. As a HETAS registered professional chimney sweep, Jones Chimney and Stoves offers comprehensive chimney sweeping following the obstruction removal, ensuring your flue is clear and ready for safe use. Our standard chimney sweep service is £70, which includes a HETAS certificate.

Chimney Bird Guards & Cowls

Following a nest removal, it's crucial to think about how to prevent future issues. Depending on your chimney and appliance, an appropriate bird guard or chimney cowl may be effective in keeping birds out while allowing the chimney to operate properly. We can provide guidance on the best options suited for your chimney and appliance.
