For Chimney-lining installers

AI call handling for
Chimney-lining installers.

A chimney-lining enquiry may follow an appliance change, a failed inspection or signs that something is wrong with the flue. Ziverly can gather safe observations, fuel and available reports while you are working at another property, without diagnosing the chimney or choosing a liner.

A familiar moment

The cottage owner preparing to replace an old wood-burning stove

You are completing another flue installation when a homeowner calls about a cottage chimney before a new stove is fitted. Ziverly can capture property type and age, listed or conservation status, chimney and fireplace location, current or proposed appliance and fuel, existing liner if genuinely known, safe internal and ground-level observations, smoke, smell, staining, debris, damp, birds or previous sweep and test information mentioned, appliance, chimney, roof, leadwork and ventilation history, sweep, installer, builder or surveyor involvement, certificates, reports and photographs taken safely, access, scaffolding already present and desired timing. It does not diagnose the chimney, flue, liner, appliance, ventilation, combustion, draught, leakage, moisture, structure, roof or fire risk, identify liner material or size remotely, select a liner, insulation, terminal or installation method, advise lighting, testing, sweeping, continued use or roof access, interpret Building Regulations, conservation or appliance requirements, certify compliance, quote, accept the work or promise attendance. Fire, smoke entering rooms, carbon-monoxide alarm or symptoms, falling masonry, dangerous appliance or immediate danger requires the appropriate emergency, fuel-isolation or competent-person route.

Where Ziverly can help

More room for the work.
A clearer thread afterwards.

The appliance and chimney must work as a system

Fuel, flue route, ventilation, terminal and property construction all need competent consideration.

Older properties bring more context

Previous liners, hidden changes and conservation status can shape what investigation and approvals are needed.

Roof and flue work require attention

A new homeowner can be heard without distracting you from height, access and combustion safety elsewhere.

What a better handover can change

Less interruption.
More useful context.

The appliance and property story is ready

Review fuel, existing equipment, property status and earlier chimney work before deciding the next step.

Safe observations stay separate from diagnosis

Keep smoke, staining, debris and damp context visible without suggesting a cause or continued use.

Your approved evidence request can persist

Add a sweep report, appliance model or safe fireplace photograph request for that known homeowner.

Before, during and after the call

How Ziverly fits around
your working day.

☎Calls you choose≡Useful details→Your next step

  1. You decide which calls reach Ziverly.

    Use the call-diversion options supported by your mobile or landline service, such as no reply, unreachable, busy or rejected. Turn them off again whenever you want to answer normally, or use cover for evenings, weekends, holidays and unexpected time away.

  2. Your call details meet you where you are.

    Choose email or SMS alerts where enabled, then open Ziverly to review the summary, transcript, recording where available, status and priority.

    Review property and status, chimney and fireplace, current or proposed appliance and fuel, known liner, safe observations, previous work, professionals involved, certificates and reports, access and timing.

  3. The next conversation starts further forwards.

    Add an AI-facing note when you want Ziverly to have more context if the same known caller rings again. Separate private notes stay private.

    Add an approved sweep-report, appliance-model or safe fireplace-photograph request so Ziverly can use your latest preparation note if that homeowner returns.

  4. Open calls do not have to rely on memory.

    Choose a daily or weekly email summary of calls still waiting for attention, at the time that best fits your working day.

  5. You can check in by phone, too.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled, call your own Ziverly number, verify your PIN and manage the calls you are allowed to see.

    Once you are safely clear of the current flue and roof access, verify your PIN to hear which lining enquiries await reports, appliance details, an inspection decision or a response.

    With Owner Voice Access enabled in the Ziverly App, you can ask by phone for current conditions locally and a short forecast for your configured area as planning context. Roof access, flue work, lifting, combustion safety and whether work proceeds remain entirely with you and other competent people.

This simple multiplication does not account for timing, capacity, costs, cancellations, repeat work or whether another response would have changed the outcome.

You keep the judgement

Your expertise.
Your boundaries.

Combustion, ventilation and Building Regulations requirements apply; installers of solid-fuel appliances commonly use HETAS or another authorised route.

You remain responsible for the advice you give, the work you accept and the safety, eligibility and professional checks your business requires.

A few practical questions

Before you
get started.

Talk it through →
Can Ziverly tell what chimney liner is required?

No. Appliance, fuel, flue, property and regulatory requirements need competent design and checks.

Will it say whether the fireplace is safe to use?

No. Smoke, carbon-monoxide or appliance concerns need an appropriate competent or urgent route.

Can it diagnose damp or debris in the chimney?

No. It records safe observations for your inspection without deciding the cause.
