Flue cleaning for housing and district heating

When a boiler heats people’s homes, every hour it’s off matters. We keep shutdowns short and plan them well in advance.

Residents notice when the heat goes off

Communal and district heating plant runs hard and can’t be off for long. We agree the shutdown with you well ahead, so residents can be told, and we work the clean through without gaps.

For plant that fouls quickly, a full clean every twelve months isn’t enough, but a full clean every six months is more than it needs. Some of the systems we look after alternate a full clean with a lighter interim clean six months later, which keeps the flue in order without doubling the cost.

Each boiler is tracked on its own, so a plant room with two or three boilers gets a certificate and a schedule for each one.

How we handle it

What’s different about this work

Downtime

Short shutdowns

Planned and agreed in advance so residents can be told.

Intervals

Full and interim cleans

Alternating cycles for plant that fouls quickly.

Multi-boiler

Tracked per boiler

Separate dates, certificates and schedules for each boiler.

Portfolio

One contract

Several plant rooms or schemes under one agreement.

Every visit is written up

Each flue gets a condition score out of 100 across five areas — soot, obstruction, liner, structural integrity and defects — with photographs from inside the flue. Each boiler gets its own certificate, and a sticker on the boiler shows when it was last cleaned and when it’s next due.

Because the scoring is the same every visit, you can see a flue getting worse over a year or two and plan the repair, rather than finding out when it fails.

See an example report — it’s for a made-up site, so you can see exactly what you’d get without anyone else’s details on show.

What’s not included. We clean flues and check them for obstructions. We don’t service boilers and we don’t clean particulate filters — we work alongside whoever does. Where a flue needs a MEWP or scaffold to reach, we’ll tell you at the survey and price the access separately.
Common questions

Things people ask us

What’s an interim clean?

A lighter clean between full cleans, for plant that fouls faster than a twelve-month interval allows. It keeps the flue clear and the scoring up to date at less cost than a second full clean.

Can you cover several schemes?

Yes. Multiple plant rooms or schemes can run under one contract with one point of contact.
