When to Call Now

What Actually Counts as a Chimney Emergency

Call immediately

  • A carbon monoxide alarm has sounded, or anyone in the house feels unwell while an appliance is running
  • Smoke is filling the room and will not clear
  • Masonry is loose above a roofline, walkway or entry
  • Water is actively running into the firebox

If it is the first one, leave the building first and call from outside.

Can wait for a scheduled visit

  • Staining on the brick with no active water
  • A damper that is stiff but still operable
  • Cosmetic cracking in the crown with no leak
  • A smell in warm weather from an unused fireplace

These are real problems and they get worse, but paying emergency rates for them is not necessary.

How Response Works

Stabilise First, Repair Once It Is Safe

An emergency visit has a narrower job than a scheduled one. It stops the loss, makes the structure safe, and records the condition. That is usually not the same day as the permanent repair, and we say so upfront rather than rushing a rebuild that will fail.

Masonry needs to dry before it is rebuilt. A flue needs to be scanned before it is used again after a fire. Work done against those constraints has to be done twice.

After a named storm the queue is longer and safety cases come first. If the situation is dangerous rather than inconvenient, say so when you call.
