Chimney must be swept and inspected before any new gas appliance is installed. We are the trusted chimney sweep referral for Gas Safe engineers across Romford and Havering.
Before any new gas fire is installed — or an existing one recommissioned — the chimney must be swept and confirmed safe. A failed smoke spillage test stops a gas installation in its tracks.
Gas Safe engineers do not climb roofs or chimneys. When the flue fails a draw test, they call us. We attend, identify the issue, clear it, and issue a NACS certificate. The gas engineer returns and completes the job.

Part J flue evacuation and spillage test on GFE appliance — Emerson Park. Required before Gas Safe engineer can sign off new gas fire installation. Clear draw confirmed.
The most common cause of a failed draw test that surprises everyone. Cobwebs near the chimney top or just inside the pot restrict airflow enough to cause smoke spillage. One sweep clears it — job done.
Nests, fallen debris and accumulated soot can partially or fully block a flue. We clear the blockage, sweep the chimney and issue the NACS certificate so the installation can proceed.
When an old gas fire is decommissioned, a vented capping cowl is often fitted to the chimney pot. It must be removed before a new appliance is installed. Gas engineers cannot remove it — that is rooftop access work. We do it.
The wrong cowl or terminal fitted to the chimney pot can restrict flue draw. We identify the issue, fit the correct terminal, sweep the flue and clear the installation for the gas engineer.

Flue fully blocked by a bird nest — identified during a Gas Safe engineer's annual gas fire service across Havering. The engineer ran the draw test, smoke spilled back into the room, and the installation was stopped. Allchimney Sweeps called in as Gas Safe referral partners to clear the blockage and restore safe flue operation.
This is an almost weekly occurrence across Romford and Havering during the spring and early summer months. Jackdaws and starlings nest in unprotected chimney pots. The nest does not need to be large to block draw — a partial restriction is enough to fail a smoke spillage test.
