Professional Chimney Cowl and Chimney Cap Installation
Protecting your chimney is crucial, and at Bonfire, we have some recommendations to ensure its top stays in good condition.
We suggest installing a cowl on each active flue to keep rain out and prevent birds from nesting.
For unused flues, a chimney cap is advised to maintain air circulation and reduce the risk of damp. These can be in terracotta or stainless.
During spring, bird nesting can become a significant issue, accumulating materials in unused flues over time.
To avoid complications, especially with heavy use, we strongly recommend fitting a terracotta ventilator cap on all unused flues.
For chimneys with a flexible steel liner, a stainless steel chimney cowl is crucial. It effectively prevents rain and birds from entering the flue, and it also helps counter down draught.
At Bonfire, we offer professional chimney cowl and ventilator cap installation services. Our experts assess your needs, select the appropriate cap, and ensure secure fitting.

For active chimneys, we guarantee proper updraft and minimize wind-induced downdrafts.
For thatched properties, we advise against fitting a cowl on active flues to avoid diverting sparks onto the thatch.
Chimney Flaunching
We offer professional chimney flaunching installation and repair services to ensure your chimney remains safe and weatherproof.
Our team begins with a thorough inspection to assess the condition of the existing flaunching and identify any damage.
Once we determine the necessary repairs, we carefully remove the old, deteriorated mortar and clean the surface to prepare it for a new layer.
We then apply high-quality, weather-resistant mortar, shaping it into a precise slope to effectively direct water away from the chimney.
With our expertise and attention to detail, we ensure long-lasting protection for your chimney, preventing further water damage and prolonging its lifespan.
This can be a stand-alone service or as an addition to an installation.
