CCTV & Drone Inspection

CCTV Chimney Inspection

At Midlands Sweeps, we provide professional HD CCTV chimney inspections to assess the internal condition of your chimney before installing a new flue liner or appliance.

A CCTV chimney inspection is an important part of any pre-installation chimney check, helping to make sure the chimney is safe, clear, and suitable before work begins.

HD CCTV Chimney Inspection Before Installation

Before fitting a new flue liner, stove, or appliance, it is important to inspect the chimney stack properly.

Using HD CCTV chimney inspection equipment, we can carry out a detailed internal risk assessment of the chimney. This allows us to check areas that cannot be seen from outside or from the fireplace opening.

A CCTV inspection can help confirm whether the chimney is suitable for:

• New flue liner installation
• Stove installation
• Multi-fuel burner installation
• Wood burner installation
• Appliance replacement
• Chimney repair or preparation work

What a CCTV Chimney Inspection Can Identify

A professional CCTV chimney inspection can help reveal hidden issues inside the chimney stack.

This may include:

• Chimney blockages
• Old nesting materials
• Loose brickwork
• Damaged masonry
• Damaged flue sections
• Tar build-up
• Fallen debris
• Cracks or deterioration
• Corrosion in an existing liner
• Combustible materials within or close to the chimney stack

Identifying these issues early can help reduce safety risks and prevent future problems.

Checking for Fire Risks and Combustible Materials

A CCTV chimney inspection is especially important for checking for any combustible materials inside or close to the chimney stack.

If combustible materials are present, they could create a serious fire risk once a new stove, burner, liner, or appliance is in use.

This inspection helps us assess whether the chimney is:

• Clear of obstructions
• Free from old nesting materials
• Suitable for safe appliance use
• Ready for a new liner
• In need of repair or preparation before installation

Inspecting Existing Flue Liners and Chimney Masonry

We can also use CCTV chimney inspection equipment to check the condition of a previously installed flue liner or inspect the internal chimney masonry.

This can help identify signs of:

• Wear and tear
• Cracking
• Corrosion
• Damaged liner sections
• Deterioration
• Loose or damaged masonry
• Poor chimney condition

Finding these issues early can help prevent more serious problems and give you a clearer understanding of your chimney’s condition.
