"As a Chartered Engineer and Chartered Environmentalist – who lives in an old building with a number of chimneys – I can say that I am really impressed with my Chimellas. Their design and construction is functional and robust. I have been using them for three years and install them in the autumn and remove them in the spring: this gives me all the advantages of preventing drafts in the winter and allowing the building to breath in the summer. Great product and outstanding service."
