What We Actually Do During an Installation or Upgrade:

New Chimney Installations

If you’re building a new home or adding a fireplace or wood burner, we’ll handle the entire chimney system — from base to cap. This includes:

Designing a safe and efficient venting systemInstalling insulated flue pipes or masonry chimneysEnsuring full compliance with NZ fire safety and building codes

We work with both

open fireplaces and solid fuel burner, offering seamless integration with your home’s layout and heating needs.

Liner Installation & Relining

We upgrade or install stainless steel or ceramic liners to enhance safety and airflow. A proper liner improves smoke ventilation, reduces fire risk, and protects your chimney walls from heat and corrosive gases. For old homes with damaged flues, relining is the safest path forward.

Cap, Crown, and Flashing Upgrades

We replace outdated, rusted, or missing chimney caps with

modern, weather-resistant components

that prevent water entry, debris buildup, and bird nesting. Cracked crowns and worn flashing are rebuilt or sealed to keep your structure watertight and secure.

Energy-Efficient Enhancements

We offer chimney upgrades that improve insulation, draft control, and heat retention — helping you lower energy costs and burn cleaner. Ask us about eco-friendly options

like insulated liners and high-efficiency dampers that boost performance and reduce emissions.
