About Durham
Durham is older than most of Tyneside — medieval bones, Georgian terraces around the cathedral, Victorian expansion in Gilesgate and Crossgate, and 20th-century estates rolling out toward Brandon and Belmont. Period chimneys here often pre-date the rest of the North East housing stock.
The peninsula and inner-city properties around the cathedral are listed or conservation-area buildings, many with original Georgian-era flues that have served fires for over 200 years. Several still have unlined brick or stone flues; some have been partially re-lined; most benefit from CCTV inspection as part of the annual sweep because what you can't see matters more than what you can. Outside the centre, the housing modernises quickly — Pity Me, Framwellgate Moor and Belmont are largely interwar and post-war stock with simpler, lined flues.
Why us, locally
Durham's mix of listed period properties and modern estates means no two visits look the same. We carry the right kit for both — rotary power-sweeping for modern lined flues, gentle traditional brushing where original masonry calls for it, and CCTV verification when an old flue needs a proper look.
Every Durham visit ends with a NACS-certified safety certificate, emailed before we leave. That's the document your home insurer expects after any chimney-related claim — read why it matters.
