Good questions.
Clear answers.

Irish carbon monoxide guidance recommends an annual chimney sweep. Your appliance, fuel and frequency of use may mean more frequent maintenance is appropriate. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ask Patrick for advice for your installation.

The existing service covers solid-fuel open fireplaces and stoves. Tell Patrick which appliance you have, and its make and model if available, when arranging an appointment.

Patrick’s service describes sealing the fireplace or stove opening and protecting the work area to contain soot and debris. Clear nearby access and allow the appliance to cool before the visit.

A camera inspection may help after a chimney fire, before reopening a disused flue, when changing an appliance, or when investigating damage or a suspected blockage. Patrick can advise on the appropriate scope.

Nesting material can be assessed, with removal only where appropriate and lawful. Active nests, eggs and young birds are protected. Do not use the fire or disturb the nest; contact Patrick to discuss the situation.

Contact Patrick for a quote based on the service, appliance, access and property location. No fixed price is published here because the work required varies.

Chimney Solutions is based in Wicklow. Share your address and Eircode so Patrick can confirm whether he can arrange a visit to your property, including enquiries from surrounding areas.

No. An enquiry is a request for contact. Patrick will agree the service, price and appointment directly with you. Please do not treat your preferred date as a confirmed booking.

Ask Patrick before the appointment about any certificate or report you need. The appropriate documentation and its suitability for an insurer or other third party should be agreed in advance.
