What affects the price

About this service
The flue is the inner passage that vents smoke out of your home. If the clay tiles or metal lining are cracked or misaligned, smoke and dangerous gases can escape into your walls. You typically need this service if an inspection reveals gaps or debris inside the flue. Repairing or relining the flue is essential for fire safety and proper ventilation.
