Serving Brisbane Homes: Chimney, Fireplace & Dryer Vent Service

A fireplace that smokes into the room, a chimney that lets water in, or a dryer that needs two cycles to finish a load: these are the jobs Brisbane homes can book with us. We clean, inspect, repair and install, and estimates are free.

Chimney services in Brisbane: what you can book

The work falls into three kinds of work. Cleaning and inspection covers sweeping, creosote removal, clearing blockages or nests, and a chimney inspection when you want to know the condition of the flue before using it. Repair covers leaks, flashing, crowns, liners, dampers and masonry, all handled through our chimney repair service. Installation covers caps, liners, fireplace inserts and gas fireplaces, plus chimney cap installation to keep rain, animals and debris out of the flue.

Dryer vents are part of the same visit list: cleaning, lint and blockage removal, airflow testing, and rerouting or replacing a vent run that keeps clogging. Gas fireplace and gas appliance work is offered, and commercial and property-manager work is offered as well.

Not sure which service to book?

Describe what you are noticing and we will tell you where to start. A smoke smell, a stain on the ceiling near the chimney, crumbling mortar or a draft that has changed are all good reasons to begin with an inspection, so any repair is based on what is actually wrong rather than a guess.

Worth mentioning when you get in touch

  • Whether you burn wood, use gas, or have an insert or wood stove
  • When the chimney or dryer vent was last cleaned, if you know
  • Any leaks, odors, smoke in the room or sounds from the flue
  • Whether the dryer vent exits through a wall or the roof

Brisbane chimney & vent questions

Should I book a cleaning or an inspection first?

It depends on what you know about the chimney. If it is in regular use and nothing seems wrong, a cleaning is a sensible start; if you have noticed leaks, odors, damaged masonry or smoke in the room, or you don't know its history, start with an inspection so the problem is found before anything is fixed.

Why does a chimney need a cap?

A cap covers the top of the flue so rain, leaves and animals can't get in. Without one, water can soak the flue and damper, and birds or other animals may nest inside and block the draft.

What are the signs a dryer vent needs cleaning?

The most common sign is clothes taking longer than usual to dry. Others include a hot laundry room, a burning or musty smell when the dryer runs, and little or no airflow at the outside vent opening.
