Safety equipment
Fall arrest kit (harness + lanyard)Statutory personal protection during work on roofs and at tall chimneys where there is a risk of falling.
Roof ladder / roof stepSafe access route across the roof to the chimney when sweeping from the roof.
Respiratory protection / dust mask (FFP3)Protects against inhaling fine soot and carcinogenic combustion particles during cleaning and sweeping.
Multi-gas detector (CO/O2)Personal safety when working in cramped boiler rooms, shafts and ventilation ducts, where oxygen deficiency or CO build-up can occur without warning.
Materials
Sealing tape and soot cloths/coversSeals doors and flue pipes so soot doesn't spread in the home, and covers floors/furniture when cleaning from inside.
Chimney liner, flexible (stainless steel)Used when renovating leaking or incorrectly sized masonry chimneys, so the draught is restored and the risk of condensation and soot build-up is reduced.
Cleaning hatch / chimney capProvides access for cleaning and inspecting the base of the chimney and makes it possible to replace leaking or corroded doors during inspection.
Draught regulator (mechanical damper)Used to limit excessive chimney draught and so ensure more even, fuel-efficient combustion — part of the draught regulation subject in the programme.
Chimney cowl / rain capProtects the chimney liner against precipitation and foreign objects and forms part of the overall assessment of the chimney's tightness and function during inspection.
