A solid cap keeps Kent's valley rain, birds, and squirrels out of your flue, and a spark arrestor keeps embers off the roof. We fit stainless caps sized to your specific flue or chase, whether it's brick masonry or a factory-built system.
When an old clay liner cracks or your fireplace draws poorly, a stainless reline restores safe, efficient venting. We only recommend relining when the camera proves the existing liner genuinely needs it.

Caps, Dampers & Liners — your questions
Why do animals keep getting into my chimney?
An uncapped or damaged flue is wide open to them. A properly sized stainless cap with mesh keeps birds, squirrels, and raccoons out.
Can you cap a factory-built (prefab) chimney?
Yes. We fit caps designed for metal chases as well as masonry flues, sealing out water and pests.
How long does a stainless liner last?
Typically 15-25 years, usually with a lifetime warranty on the liner material.
