A variety of accessories can be installed to make your chimney the perfect fit for your home. If you're having trouble with little animal visitors, install a strong screen which will make entrance impossible. There's even a specific design that will keep birds out! Adaptors provide a smooth transition from roof tiles to the chimney opening. Flue stretchers raise your chimney an extra foot or so, preventing smoke from reentering your home. There's an answer for common chimney problems.

My chimney cap separated from the stainless steel mesh screen. Can the cap be successfully reattached, or do I need to purchase a new cap and screen? Would I need a local handyman, or do I need some type of chimney specialist to do this?
1 Answer
A local handyman may be able to handle this repair, though the location of the chimney cap may necessitate contacting a chimney sweep. Plus, if your chimney needs maintenance (recommended annually), you may be able to get a discounted rate for repair along with a chimney cleaning.

Can you tell me how to install a stainless steel mesh on a existing chimney cap?
1 Answer
If you are installing a pre made spark arrestor screen, it can generally be installed by removing the lid of the chimney cap, then sliding the mesh into place. It is usually designed to expand and hold itself in position. If you using non formed mesh, you will need to do the same, but the mesh will need to be secured to the underside of the cap by using "L" brackets, along with machine screws and nuts.
