Some chimney concerns need more than routine maintenance. Patrick’s published history includes condition surveys and investigations following chimney fires.
A specialist assessment starts with the question you need answered. This may involve damage after a fire, the condition of an older flue, or concerns raised during a property purchase or appliance change.
Patrick’s original website describes CCTV survey work for householders and insurance loss adjusters. The present availability of reports, their intended use and the extent of any investigation should be agreed directly with him.
An assessment can help establish what is visible and what further checks or remedial work may be needed. It does not replace the requirements of your insurer, installer or other professional involved in the property.
What to expect
- Discussion of the issue and history
- An agreed inspection scope
- Camera investigation where appropriate
- Reporting requirements agreed in advance
When to get in touch
Contact Patrick following a chimney fire or when you need to discuss a more complex chimney condition concern.
Before your appointment
Have any existing inspection reports, photographs and relevant insurer requirements ready. Do not use a fire-damaged chimney until professionally assessed.
