It is estimated that over a million birds die in chimneys every year in the UK alone, causing dangerous blockages, chimney fires, infestations and damp. Spring is the time of year at which birds are nesting, unfortunately often choosing chimneys to set up home.

We are asked a whole host of questions about chimney cowls every day. Who would have thought there was so much to be said about the topic?! 

Brewer Cowls is one of the UK’s leading chimney cowl manufacturers. With over 50 years’ experience, we stock the most comprehensive range of chimney cowls, birdguards and chimney cappers

The Brewer Cowls team is often asked about wind noise issues in the chimney, and how to stop it. We have to agree that this is one of the most frustrating issues that can be caused by an open chimney, particularly when the weather outside is cold, windy, and unpleasant.

Wood burners, also known as log burners and wood stoves, are a welcome addition to many homes across the country. As a powerful heat source for your home, the benefits of a wood burner are easy to recognise.

When it comes to choosing the correct cowl or terminal for the job, we here at Brewer Metalcraft cannot place enough emphasis on the importance of getting it right first time. There can be serious issues if this is not the case in terms of health, financial, and possibly even legal consequences.
