Allchimneys Kent provides chimney lining, chimney repairs, sweeping and stove installation across Faversham and surrounding villages. We work on period homes, town terraces and rural properties — keeping chimneys safe, dry and performing correctly.
Allchimneys Kent provides a clean, tidy and reliable domestic chimney service throughout Faversham, including Oare, Selling and nearby villages.
Over time, wind‑driven rain, seasonal frost and constant exposure at roof level can wear away mortar joints, loosen brickwork and lead to failed flashing. What starts as a small gap in pointing can quickly become water ingress, damp around fireplaces, staining on internal walls or loose masonry that needs urgent attention.
We provide chimney lining and repairs, chimney sweeping, stove installation, and chimney pot and cowl installation across Faversham and the surrounding area.

Faversham combines historic townhouses and terraces with rural homes in surrounding villages. Older brick stacks were originally built for coal fires and often have larger, older flues that benefit from modern lining when converting to a stove. Period properties can also have a mix of original brickwork and later repairs, so a proper inspection helps identify where repointing, pot replacement, cowl upgrades or flue lining is needed to keep the chimney safe and weather‑tight.
Specialist rope-access and steeplejack chimney work — often completed without scaffolding, helping reduce project costs.
Chimney lining improves safety, performance and efficiency by ensuring flue gases are carried safely out of the property. Older chimneys and previously used open-fire flues often require lining before a stove can be installed, or when an existing liner has deteriorated over time.
Flue lining installed on a Faversham property to restore safe performance and reduce smoke leakage through older brickwork. If you’re upgrading the appliance too, our stove installation service ensures the full system remains compliant.
Before recommending any liner, we carry out an internal flue inspection (including checking for blockages, failed liners, leakage and the true flue route), then confirm the correct liner diameter for the appliance and opening size. This avoids common problems such as poor draw, excessive soot build-up, and premature liner failure. Where needed, we can also smoke test to identify leakage points before any installation work begins.
We supply and install correctly sized flexible flue liners for multi-fuel appliances and open fireplaces burning wood, coal, or gas, ensuring safe operation, efficient performance, and full compliance with current installation standards. Where required, we can also carry out smoke testing and chimney inspections to identify leaking chimneys or breached flues before recommending the most suitable lining solution.
Roofline chimney repairs completed in Faversham with safe access and controlled working at height, keeping the stack secure and weather-tight. If the terminal setup needs improving, we also fit chimney pots and cowls to help prevent rain entry and downdraught.
Most chimney repairs come down to keeping the stack weather-tight and structurally sound. We repair chimney stacks to stop water getting in, prevent loose masonry, and extend the life of the chimney so it remains safe for use with open fires and stoves.
Sweeping is about safety and performance. A clean flue draws better, reduces smoke blow-back and lowers the risk of chimney fires. If you’ve moved into a property and don’t know the history, a sweep and safety check is a smart first step.
The right pot and cowl setup can solve frustrating problems — birds entering unused flues, rain getting straight into the stack, or downdraught that causes smoke to spill back into the room. We supply and fit the correct cowl for the job, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.
A good stove installation isn’t just about fitting the appliance — it’s about correct flue design, maintaining safe distances from combustibles, appropriate hearth material design and installation, safe clearances, and reliable long-term performance. If a liner is required, we’ll advise on the correct size and the right termination to suit the chimney and local wind conditions.
