Wally began learning about fireplaces and chimney construction in 1957 under the tutelage of James Spruce when a solid fuel range (Aga) was installed at the College Bookshop, the home of retired Major Bogle. Many of the chimneys which we worked on at that time were very much in the ‘Charles Dickens – Oliver Twist’ style, very large and very dirty coal burning fires.
Thank you very much once again for resolving our chimney problem. We had a very serious back drift issue in the past, the room was always filled with black smoke whenever we lighted the fire, our eyes were sore, breathing was difficult, it embarrassed us so much in front of the guests. We no longer have the issue after you installed the hover cap for us, the fire is much more efficient, the room is warmer, everyone enjoys staying around the lovely fireplace, we feel blessed!
Thank you very much!

Wally, The Fireplace Technician, has been working furiously to install the fireplace from Belgium and get it 100% air-tight to Passive House standards, as well as fully insulating the flue. He’s had to make a range of custom fittings and it’s great to see a real craftsman at work. As mentioned previously, the fireplace is for ambience only, as the home will maintain 20 degrees all year with no forms of heating.
Wally, Firstly, I wish to say you have been hands down the most helpful and resourceful tradesmen on site. I really enjoyed tackling this challenge with you. I wish other tradesmen see half as helpful and professional as you.
