Every chimney in the country seems to be different but luckily the wool compresses into a range of different shapes and sizes.
Chimney Sheep® stops cold chimney draughts
How much heat are you losing up your chimney? Chimneys are cleverly designed to draw air up and out of a building. If you’ve got the central heating on and the fire isn’t lit, all your precious warm air will disappear up the flue within an hour. Just put your hand in the flue and you’ll be astonished by how strong the chimney draught is. This escaping air needs to be replaced, so cold air is pulled in from under doors and round windows, creating the cold draughts we feel. Now you can stop chimney draughts and reduce chimney heat loss with a Chimney Sheep®! The Chimney Sheep® is a thick layer of felted wool on a handle that plugs the gap just above the fireplace preventing warm air from escaping up the chimney and stopping cold air from coming down the chimney.
Reduces energy bills & saves money
Fitting a chimney sheep will save around 4% off your heating bill. That means it should pay for itself within 6 months.
Stops wildlife and debris falling in
Tests have shown that it also reduces the amount of pollution entering the home.
Prevents heat loss and stops cold draughts
Having an open chimney is like leaving a window open all the time. Fitting a Chimney Sheep® effectively closes the window.
Stops wind noise down chimneys
A lot of happy customers tell us their homes are quieter since they fitted a chimney sheep.
What our customers say...
“We have been using a Chimney Sheep in two of our holiday cottages for nine months now. The guests like to use the open fire at all times of the year. The Chimney Sheep has been removed and reinserted by all who used it, and has generated a lot of interest. It is difficult to quantify the amount of energy saved, but they are well insulated buildings so the main source of heat loss is up the chimney. We are really pleased to be able to use the Sheep and that our guests have been able to use it without any problems.”

Thank you for such speedy delivery. So well made and it fits snugly into our chimney and immediately stopped the draughts. So much more effective than the ugly bubble wrap previously being used!
