Why do I need a bird guard and cowl??...A good question, and even if you don't have a working fire or nesting birds near by then why should you even worry about it. Well, our bird guards are not just for birds, but the cowls help prevent water ingress down into the chimney flue. Most chimneys have a lead tray, this picks up any moisture running down the inside of a chimney and sends it back out to the external faces. Unfortunately, chimney fires and over sweeping can damage this tray and allow water to penetrate further down into your house, soaking through the walls as it hits warmer and drier brick through natural absortion. So any chimney can benefit from a guard and cowl, especially if you already have water marks appearing. Birds nests account for over 90% of chimney fires, they provide the perfect kindling to ignite the carbon build up on the walls of a flue. Not only that the dense soft padding on top soaks up any moisture and increases the risk of water marks, not to mention acting as a perfect bung for gas and solid fuel appliances alike causing a rapid build up of CO within a room. The old type push in bird guards are not enough and an all to eager sweep can push these out causing damage to the roof tiles and sudsequent vehicles and buildings as it rattles on down. From as
little as £75!, you can prevent further corrosion and
prolong the life of your chimney and flue.
