Bird Cowls & Chimney Caps

Bird guards, rain caps and anti downdraught cowls fitted to protect your flue all year.

An open chimney pot is an invitation. Jackdaws nest in it, rain runs down it and wind blows back down it into the room. The right cowl stops all three and is far less work than clearing a nest or repairing a water damaged chimney breast.

Rob supplies and fits bird guards, rain caps, anti downdraught cowls and spinning cowls to suit your pot and your appliance, and can cap off disused flues so they stay dry and ventilated.

What is included

  • Assessment of the pot, flue type and appliance
  • Bird guard cowls for stoves and open fires
  • Rain caps and anti downdraught cowls
  • Capping and ventilating disused flues
  • Replacement of storm damaged or rusted cowls
  • Fitted from ladders or roof ladder, no scaffold on most homes

Who it is for

  • Homes that have had birds or nests in the chimney
  • Stoves that smoke back when the wind is in a certain direction
  • Disused chimneys letting in rain

FAQs

Cowls & Caps questions

It depends on the fuel and the problem. A bird guard for nesting, an anti downdraught cowl for smoke blowing back, a rain cap for a disused flue. Rob will advise on the day.
