Preparing for Your CCTV Inspection
For safe and accurate flue inspection, please ensure the appliance is cold and unlit for at least 24 hours before your appointment. We protect surfaces and minimise disruption, accessing the flue via the appliance or existing access hatch where possible. Roof access, when required, is handled safely, and quoted separately if scaffolding is necessary.
