Why You Need The Best Chimney Services in Kenya Right Now! –
I got a flue shot and now my chimney works perfectly – Steve Martin
A Chimney is the breathing organ of your furnace – it draws in oxygen and expels flue gases and smoke leading to better fire. Chimneys have been part of housing architecture since the 12th century in Europe. But these smoke-emitting pieces that stand tall above your roof serve more than an aesthetic purpose.
They expel toxic gases and smoke from your stove, boiler, furnace or fireplace to ensure there’s no air pollution in your house. Chimneys also provide a pressure difference called draft that enables combustion in your fireplace.
Due to this complex functionality, you need experts who are skilled at chimney construction, repairs, cleaning, sweeping and other furnace maintenance services.
Insta Repairs is the go-to place for expert building, repair and maintenance of your chimney and fireplace needs.
You need your fireplace running optimally to keep you warm and dry especially during the cold season. Air flow into and out of the chimney is most important to ensure proper operation. When burning firewood in your fireplace, the ash and soot accumulate on the inside of your chimney over time.
This carbon-filled substance called creosote restricts air flow and can catch fire that can destroy the chimney and your house as well. Accumulated soot and ash causes blockage of the airway allowing smoke into the house and can cause suffocation.
What are the signs that your chimney needs cleaning?
- Burning wood odour from the furnace even when it’s not in use
- A lot of smoke in your house or poorly burning fires
- A black or caked damper due to built-up creosote
Our Services
We offer unparalleled service in the Kenyan market in the following areas:
- Chimney design and construction –
Chimneys come in various types including metal, freestanding stove chimneys, fabricated chimneys and masonry chimneys.
What keeps a chimney efficient is its ability to draw in air into the combustion chamber as well as extract flue gases out of the chamber. Building a chimney that maintains a healthy balance of combustible air and flue gas requires a technical expert without which the chimney can become a fire hazard.
Insta Repairs has the skilled capacity to recommend, design and build the appropriate chimney for your needs. We provide cost effective solutions to ensure you incur minimal cost in the maintenance of your chimney. We design and set up the most ideal chimney for your home in line with established technical standards taking into consideration the maintenance costs, efficiency and air quality standards.
- Chimney repair

Due to the high temperatures and fluctuating pressures that go through the chimney, the walls and other components are prone to rust and damage over time.
Some of the areas that may need repair in your chimney include:
- Damaged chimney crowns
- Faulty Flue liners due to shaling
- Rust on the firebox or damper
- Cracked walls
- Excess moisture causing efflorescence or White Staining
- Chimney sweeping/ cleaning –
Air flow into and out of the chimney is most important to ensure proper operation.
When burning firewood in your fireplace, the ash and soot accumulate on the inside of your chimney over time. This carbonaceous substance called creosote restricts air flow and can catch fire that can destroy the chimney and the building as well.
Accumulated soot and ash can also lead to poor air quality in your house due to smoke that can cause suffocation.
What are the signs that your chimney needs cleaning?
- Burning wood odour from the furnace even when it’s not in use
- A lot of smoke in your house or poorly burning fires

During cold weather, the fireplace can be a great source of heating for your house. However, continued use will leave a build-up of ashes in the furnace that causes poor burning of the fuel. Poorly burning fire can cause emission of smoke that is a danger to your health. In cleaning your chimney, we ensure to remove the ash build up, clean up the damper and clear the flue to let your chimney operate normally.
