Thatched roof chimneys in Oxfordshire

CS Chimney Services specialise in safely relining and repairing chimneys in thatched and listed buildings. 90% of thatch fires are caused as a result of chimneys. Hot flue gases can transfer heat through the brickwork of the chimney, and is especially prominent when thick beds of thatch are against the chimney, insulating the stack and preventing the release of high temperatures from the brickwork. Over time, the thatch can become heated to the point where it will char and burn.
