Professional Chimney Blockage Removal Services
The Chimney Lab provides professional chimney blockage removal services across Fleet and surrounding Hampshire areas for wood burners, open fireplaces, multi-fuel stoves and traditional chimneys.
Blocked chimneys can affect airflow, reduce appliance performance and create serious chimney safety concerns if left untreated. Chimney blockages are commonly caused by bird nests, soot build-up, debris, collapsed materials or long periods without chimney maintenance.
We safely identify and remove chimney obstructions to help restore proper airflow and safe chimney operation.
Common Causes Of Chimney Blockages
Chimney blockages can develop gradually over time or appear suddenly due to nesting activity or debris entering the chimney system.
Common causes include:
Bird nests
Twigs and nesting materials
Excess soot build-up
Creosote deposits
Debris within the flue
Fallen masonry
Damaged flue liners
Unused chimneys collecting obstructions
Older chimneys and uncapped chimney pots are often more vulnerable to blockage problems.

If you notice any of these issues, professional inspection and blockage removal is recommended.
