Bird-Guards / Cowels
We can advise you on which cowl is best for your chimney.
The jackdaw is the only bird known to build nests in chimney flues, and they are quite determined (bless their hearts). It’s essential to install a quality bird guard. Many homeowners often overlook that a chimney can get blocked and then proceed to light their fires as winter sets in. This oversight can lead to significant damage to the paint and certainly increases the cleaning costs of your carpets, curtains, and furniture.
On the other hand, a chimney cowl serves a different function. Its primary role is to prevent back-draughts during windy weather, which can push smoke back into your living space, or to enhance the draught of your chimney. Ensuring you have a suitable functioning cowl installed on your particular chimney is crucial.
Various chimneys may require different types of cowls.
We offer a diverse selection of bird guards and cowls, available for supply and installation.
