Expert Commercial Chimney Inspection & Flue Plotting
Advanced CCTV diagnostics and precise flue plotting to uncover blockages, prevent leakage, and ensure total compliance for facilities across the South East.
Protecting Your Property from the Inside Out
Upgrading commercial boilers or ‘opening up’ an old flue can be fraught with hidden dangers. Without professional maintenance, what seems like a straightforward extraction system can quickly become a serious operational hazard. We utilise high-end CCTV inspection and flue plotting equipment to quickly and accurately diagnose internal defects before they result in structural damage, fire risks, or carbon monoxide exposure.
- 25+ Years of Expert Experience: Trusted by over 50 major clients across 12 UK counties.
- Detailed Flue Plotting: Ensuring your flue dimensions guarantee proper draughting and ventilation.
- Actionable Reporting: We don't just find the problem; we provide the engineered solution.

Unmatched Reach
Equipped with 28 metres of reinforced cable, our diagnostic equipment is designed to scale and inspect even the highest commercial chimney stacks.
The Final Deliverable
You receive instant access to a secure, high-definition CCTV video. This is paired with a comprehensive electronic report detailing the exact condition of the flue.
Does Your Flue Need an Urgent Inspection?
Commercial chimneys naturally degrade over time due to weather, thermal shock, and combustion by-products. If you notice any of the following warning signs within your facility, an urgent inspection is highly recommended to prevent back-draughting or the release of harmful gases.
- Damaged Masonry: Visible cracks, flaking, or chipping in external bricks and mortar.
- Water Ingress: Unexplained leaks or damp stains on ceilings and walls adjacent to the chimney breast.
- Smoke Blow-Back: Smoke failing to vent efficiently and entering the internal room.
- Foul Odours: Strong smells indicating a heavy build-up of creosote or a trapped blockage.
- Poor Draughting: Inefficient airflow restricting the performance of your commercial boilers.

Chimney Inspection FAQs
What happens during a chimney inspection?
We check both the interior and exterior of the chimney for cracks, leaks, blockages, or deterioration. Using CCTV equipment, we assess the chimney’s integrity from the inside. We also conduct “Flue Plotting” to measure the cross-sectional area, height, and location of the flue, ensuring it is correctly sized to prevent the release of harmful gases.
How much does a commercial chimney inspection cost?
Costs vary depending on the height, accessibility, and number of chimneys on your property. Once you contact us, our team will quickly assess your facility’s requirements and provide a transparent, bespoke estimate for the survey and resulting report.
Why is flue plotting important for commercial boilers?
Improper flue sizing leads to inefficient venting and dangerous back-draughting. Flue plotting ensures your extraction system is perfectly matched to the capacity of your commercial boilers, guaranteeing strict safety compliance and peak operational efficiency.
