Sweeping in Shaftesbury.
Shaftesbury stands on a greensand ridge nearly seven hundred feet up, with the Blackmore Vale falling away beneath it. Gold Hill is the famous view; the relevant fact for chimneys is the exposure that comes with a hilltop.
Wind at that height is constant and comes from every direction over the course of a winter. Stacks weather hard, pots work loose, and draw varies noticeably with wind direction in a way that properties down in the vale simply do not experience. A cowl that suits one aspect may not suit another.
It is also cold, high and rural, with a substantial proportion of surrounding properties off the gas network and burning wood as primary heat. Long burning seasons and hard-worked appliances are the norm rather than the exception.

02
Wood burners & multi-fuel stoves
High, cold and off-gas means appliances run long and hard. Twice a year is the sensible default.
03
Bird nests & cowl fitting
Exposed hilltop pots need capping, and the right cowl steadies draw that shifts with the wind.
