Chimneys Devon

At Torbay Flues and Fire we offer a range of chimney services for people in the Devon area.

A chimney removes hot fumes, smoke or gases from a fireplace, stove or boiler in to the outside air.

It is important to make sure that you keep your chimney well maintained and have any problems repaired to make sure that you home is kept safe. Heating and cooking appliances that are run on coal, wood, oil or smokeless fuels can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning if they are poorly installed, in the same way that a gas appliance could.

Carbon Monoxide poisoning is normally caused if maintenance of chimneys, flues or appliances is not correctly maintained or if there is a lack of ventilation.

Why is chimney maintenance so important?

In gas and oil heating systems, the fuel is burnt and the dangerous fumes that are produced from the combustion process including carbon monoxide are released through a connector pipe, in to the chimney. The chimney acts a s a funnel, removing the dangerous fumes from a living area and releasing them in to the air. If the structure of a chimney deteriorates or is blocked then the toxic fumes cannot be removed and could be potentially lethal for anyone inside, breathing the fumes.

In addition to removing fumes, a chimney has another purpose and that is to create the flow of air / draught that creates the correct mix of fuel and air, enabling a heating appliance to run at the correct level of efficiency.

It is therefore very important to keep your chimney well maintained and clear from any blockages, not only to keep you and you r family safe from dangerous fumes but also to help, you save money and keep your appliance working at it's optimum level of output.

At Torbay Flues and Fires, Devon we can carry out chimney inspections and repair, reline or sweep your chimney.
