- Twigs, feathers and bird droppings falling into your stove or fireplace
- Sounds of chirping or tweeting
- Bird activity around the chimney pot
Although it may seem somewhat inhumane to clear out nests and pests from your chimney, it is necessary for your own safety and well being.
Leaving nests and pests in your chimney have the potential to cause health problems, fires, blockages and could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning. Fungus growing on dried bird droppings could also lead to a disease called ‘Histoplasmosis’ which could result in becoming very ill. In some rare cases, histoplasmosis can be fatal.
Following the removal of the debris from the chimney, we carry out an internal video inspection of the chimney to assure nothing has been left. We then perform a smoke draught test to confirm your chimney is functioning as it should be.
