How Do You Fit Them?
Chimney pot cowls, come in lots of different styles as there is a wide range of issues with chimneys and stoves that they can help to solve. Fitting is straight forward and can be done by merely strapping, bolt fixing or installing a sleeve over the chimney itself. The fixing is clean and does not cause damage to the flue or the stack, so you can remove or replace them without leaving marks or holes. Strapping is by far the most secure option to fix to the top of a chimney, and almost all our cowls are available with this fixing method.

Options include guards for gas or solid fuel, or alternatively opt for a sprung bird guard or balloon mesh bird guard, depending on the design you are looking for.
Chimney Caps
Caps are also very useful.
