Chimney Capping

A lot of people are concerned about trying to keep birds from nesting on their roofs. If you find that you are worried about this problem, perhaps because you have been a victim of it in the past. On the bright side, there are many things that you can do about it. But one of the most effective preventative measures is chimney capping, which is a service we can offer to you at an affordable price and which is highly effective.

What Is Chimney Capping?

So, what exactly is it? Simply put, chimney capping is just the process of capping off the chimney of your home so that animals cannot get in there no matter how hard they try. As you might imagine, having a cap on your chimney can work very effectively to avoid you having to share your home with flying vermin, so it’s no surprise that more and more households are getting in touch with us to have this procedure carried out.

Can I Still Use My Chimney?

Yes – you can still use your chimney if it is an active chimney in the first place. Capping is done in such a way that, while no animals can get down the chimney, smoke can still freely escape it. You will find no hindrance to your use of the chimney whatsoever, so if you like to light a fire every evening you will still be able to do that.

What Is A Chimney Cap?

You might be wondering what a chimney cap is. It is, quite simply, a protective covering that goes over the top of the chimney hole, in order to stop anything from getting in such as animals. Normally, it is made of copper or another mesh material, so you know that it is going to be sturdy and really do the job. Chimney caps are affordable and yet incredibly effective, especially when fitted by the experts such as us.

Are There Any Other Benefits To Chimney Capping?

Chimney capping is a great way to keep animals out of your chimney. But is there anything else that you can hope for from having your chimney capped? The answer is yes – there are some other benefits. For instance, when your chimney is capped, you will also be less likely to find general debris floating down the chimney, as that can happen with an open chimney. It will even prevent snow and water from entering the chimney too. That’s great news for any resident.
