Our Clients Trust Us

I can't praise Chimney Doctor enough for the work they did on our chimney stack last month. We had been dealing with a stubborn water ingress problem for ages, showing up as damp patches in the upstairs bedroom, and I was dreading the whole repair process. From the first call, they were professional and so thorough. They used a CCTV camera to inspect the flue, clearly showing us the cracks causing the issue, no guesswork involved! The repair was done quickly, efficiently, and the team was incredibly tidy, leaving no mess behind. Since the repair, the damp patches are completely dry. It’s a huge relief to know the problem is properly sorted. Highly recommend Chimney Doctor to anyone in Galway needing reliable chimney repair.

After years of putting up with a smoky sitting room and a poor draft on the stove, we finally called Chimney Doctor to look at our old cottage chimney. What a difference! The technician, John, was brilliant. He quickly diagnosed the issue, which turned out to be a combination of a broken liner section and an unsuitable cowl. He explained the relining process and the options clearly, without any jargon. The work was completed within the week, and the change is immediate; the fire draws perfectly now, and there’s absolutely no smoke spilling back into the room. It feels safer and so much warmer. Excellent service, fantastic technical skill, and truly worth the investment for the peace of mind.

Frequently Asked Questions & Safety Hub

Our promise is professional execution, minimum disruption, and a service that is both effective and certified.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

It is recommended to sweep the chimney at least **once a year**. If you are using solid fuels (wood, peat, coal) frequently and heavily, more regular sweeping may be necessary to manage rapid creosote buildup and maintain safety.

How much does a standard chimney sweep cost?

Standard sweeping costs generally start from **€70 to €100** for a 1-2 storey house. This is a fixed rate for cleaning only. A full CCTV inspection is a crucial diagnostic tool and is quoted separately.

What do I do if I suspect Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning?

Follow the HSE's **'TASK'** emergency checklist immediately: **T**urn off the heating source.
Ventilate with **A**ir (open windows/doors).
**S**eek medical help immediately.
**K**eep all appliances off until serviced by a qualified professional.
Always ensure you have working CO alarms installed near all fuel-burning appliances.

What are the common signs my chimney is damaged?

Early warning signs of serious damage include smoke entering the room when the fire is lit, a poor draught, unusual odours, or bits of mortar/liner debris falling into the grate. If you see white stains (efflorescence) on the exterior, that's often a sign of water ingress.

Do gas or oil flues need sweeping or inspection?

Yes, while they don't produce creosote, **inspection is crucial**. Non-room-sealed gas and oil appliances still vent gases, including **Carbon Monoxide (CO)**, through the chimney. Blockages (like nests or debris) or disconnections can lead to dangerous leaks. We recommend an annual visual and CO test, and a sweep if the system is non-room sealed.

Do you handle the paperwork for insurance claims and regulations?

Yes. For major repairs, **Chimney Doctor assists with and handles all necessary repair works under insurance claims**. For compliance, our HETAS registration allows us to issue a Certificate of Compliance, avoiding lengthy Building Notice applications for you.

What is the difference between 316 and 904 stainless steel liners?

Both are flexible stainless steel liners, but they have different levels of durability and corrosion resistance:
**316 Grade:** The standard, robust choice suitable for most wood and multi-fuel appliances.
**904 Grade:** The more durable, premium choice. It has superior resistance to corrosion and is recommended for appliances that use fuels with a higher sulfur content (like coal or high-moisture peat), ensuring maximum longevity and safety.

What is HETAS certification and why should I choose a HETAS installer?

**HETAS** is the official registration scheme for solid fuel and biomass installers in Ireland. Choosing a HETAS registered installer guarantees the work is compliant with **Building Regulations Document.
Most importantly, we issue a **Certificate of Compliance**, which saves you the time and expense of applying for a Building Notice from the local Building Control Department.
