- Working at height (sometimes with scaffolding), your installer checks that the flue is suitable and the top is clear of debris
- A suitable cowl is selected (size, fuel type, and finish are all considerations)
- Cowl is fitted either by slipping into the flue or fixing with straps and adhesive (depending on the manufacturer guidelines)
- The fit-out is checked for safe mounting and correct ventilation
How much does it cost to install a chimney cowl?
Expect to pay between £263 and £476 , with an average cost of £352.

Do you need scaffolding to fit a chimney cowl?
You don’t always need scaffolding. For many single-storey or easily accessible roofs, a ladder and roof-access method might do the trick.
However, for taller properties or difficult to reach roofs, scaffolding is needed.
Tip: Make sure to ask your fitter ahead of time whether scaffolding is needed and whether the costs will be included in their quote.
Who will fit a chimney cowl?
