- A suitable cowl is selected (size, fuel type, and finish are all considerations)
- Cowl is fitted either by slipping into the flue or fixing with straps and adhesive (depending on the manufacturer guidelines)
- The fit-out is checked for safe mounting and correct ventilation

Do you need scaffolding to fit a chimney cowl?
You don’t always need scaffolding. For many single-storey or easily accessible roofs, a ladder and roof-access method might do the trick.
However, for taller properties or difficult to reach roofs, scaffolding is needed.
Tip: Make sure to ask your fitter ahead of time whether scaffolding is needed and whether the costs will be included in their quote.
Who will fit a chimney cowl?
Roofers and qualified chimney sweeps can help with a chimney cowling installation.
Hire using Checkatrade’s free directory and you’ll know your fitters will have the right experience.
Will a chimney cowl stop rain entering my flue?
Yes – one of the main perks of fitting a cowl is that it helps prevent rain and debris entering the chimney, which can lead to damp and odours.
