The terminal or top of your chimney is a very important part of the system. Terminals include things like pots, cowls, birdguards etc. When having a stove installed, its important to have your chimney stack fitted with a flue liner. In order to protect this liner from birds nesting and also from the elements, you need a terminal connected to the top.
There are 100’s of designs. Cowls and guards offer increased resistance to the flow of combustion gasses and depending on your chimney, the best terminal is often an open pot. It is however sometimes necessary to fit a guard or cowl.
Most Cowls are designed to keep out the rain with some kind of hood. In addition, there may be a mesh to keep out birds. There are different cowls for different fuel types; smokeless fuels require a stainless steel cowl, while coal and wood require a Cowl with a wider mesh to prevent blockages. There are also Cowls designed specifically to prevent or reduce down drafts, where this is a problem.
We supply and fit bird guards and chimney cowls within the Norwich and the surrounding areas including Wymondham, Plumstead, Horsford, Brundall, Felthorpe, Attleborough and Wroxham.

had a stove fitted by East Coast Flues and am very pleased with the result. They were very friendly and professional. They were also very tidy in their work and left no mess and to top it off it saves me money on my heating bill! A fantastic company. I would recommend them to everyone.
East Coast Flues installed an AGA Little Wenlock Classic into my Bungalow today. Both Richard and Adrian we prompt, polite, courteous and above all, clean in their work. My wife was expecting a mess to clean up but it was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived!! We chose East Coast Flues for our installation as we found that Richard understood his job, offered good sound advice and was extremely personable. He took the time to explain everything to us and even advise us on the little things we didn't even consider. I would not hesitate in recommending East Coast Flues to anyone who is looking to have a wood burner installed. I have attached a photo of the final install, its better than we had imagined it would be, we can't wait for the cold weather to start it up now!
Richard explained all of the wood burner options available and carried out the installation work in a clean and courteous manner. Once the installation was complete he took time to explain the instructions for usage, safety and warranties for both the wood burner and flue lining. I would highly recommend.
