Find Chimney Cowling Installation in South Kirkby

Is your chimney letting in downdrafts or rain? Fitting a chimney cowl is the answer. A cowl sits on top of your chimney pot to:

  • Keep out rain
  • Limit cold drafts escaping into your home
  • Stop backflow of smoke
  • Help with ventilation

Read on for everything you need to know about chimney cowling installation covering South Kirkby – including costs and hiring tips.

Rather we do the searching for you? Try our quick request a quote feature and we’ll put you in touch with chimney cowling installation services covering your local area.

What does chimney cowl installation involve?

Hire an experienced fitter and they'll take the following steps to fit a chimney cowl:

  • Working at height (sometimes with scaffolding), your installer checks that the flue is suitable and the top is clear of debris
  • 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.
