I offer a Closed Circuit Television (or CCTV) inspection service for clients who need help to identify the cause of faults in their appliance flues. The CCTV camera can often clearly identify the cause of blockages and faults in the flue liner which can often help in identifying the most cost effective remedy within the available budget. The Service includes an option to have copies of still or video footage, together with a written report on the findings of the inspection. The report and the images can aid the client in understanding what they are facing in terms of repair and restoration.

The Equipment

At TLCS, I  use an AMAC Colour Eye camera system (45mm) as the main camera for flue examinations but there is also a very small 8mm camera able to fit into virtually any sized flue pipe albeit with a reach restricted to about 2m. The camera systems consist of a portable 5-inch DVR which provides the customer with with a high resolution images(s) and live views of problems found within the flue, the CCTV systems can take, and store pictures and copy them to an SD card.
