A clear look inside your chimney
CCTV chimney surveys let us inspect the inside of your chimney for faults that are easy to miss from ground level. We check for leaks, blockages, bird nests, rubbish and other unwanted waste that could affect how safely your flue works. That matters when smoke is not drawing properly, when damp marks start showing, or when you want to understand the cause of a chimney problem before it gets worse. We can also carry out this service after incidents such as a chimney fire or collapse, where clear visual evidence may be needed for an insurance claim. Buyers and sellers often use this kind of survey to pass on useful information during a property sale. Leonards & Airlievac has been serving Hull, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire since 1957, so you get a practical survey backed by long experience rather than guesswork.
Useful when you need proof, not assumptions
Our camera survey helps you see what is actually happening inside the flue, which can save time when the cause of a problem is unclear. We can identify obstructions and internal damage that may affect performance, safety or future repair work. Insurance companies may request this kind of inspection after a fire or structural issue, and we understand the need for accurate reporting. We also carry out flue smoke evacuation tests through our NACS qualifications where this is relevant to the condition being checked. With Leonards & Airlievac, you're dealing with a family business that follows the NACS Code of Practice accredited to BS6461 and BSEN 15287.

Why this kind of inspection matters
Hidden chimney problems rarely stay hidden for long. Our camera inspection can spot issues early, before they lead to heavier soot build-up, poor draw or more costly repair work. It is also a sensible way to document chimney condition when a home is being bought, sold or assessed after damage. That gives you clearer information to act on, instead of relying on outside signs alone. Alongside our camera inspections, we provide full chimney sweeping services as well as complete chimney repairs and maintenance to keep your entire system operating safely.
