Faststack® is a new concept in chimney design suitable for both fully working and decorative functions.
Faststack® chimneys are easy to install saving both time and money onsite.
The Faststack® concept has been developed to make the installation of working and
decorative chimneys simple and cost effective. The compact design enables the installation
of chimneys in situations where traditionally constructed ones would not be possible.

Gable End Ridge
The Gable End Ridge chimneys are
designed to allow the brickwork to
continue from the gable wall into the
chimney unit.
Faststack® Chimneys are fixed to the
roof trusses and the built in flashing
channels ensures a waterproof seal.
Mono Pitch
Faststack mono pitch chimneys can be
located anywhere on the roof pitch.
Hearths and fireplaces require
no extensive foundations or
supporting masonry to support
the chimney.
Flues are compact
and easy to
install, saving
both room space
and time on-site.
Mid Ridge
In situations where the chimneys are not
located directly over the gable wall, the
Mid Ridge design can be used.
Faststack® Chimneys are the first products to meet the requirements of the CGMA.
This provides third party performance testing developed with the assistance of the NHBC.

The Brickwork Components Faststack
Chimney System is a prefabricated
range of ‘working’ and ‘cosmetic
only’ chimneys. They are available
in a range of standard designs. They
comprise GRP (Glass Reinforced
Plastic) cores which are clad in
traditional facing materials thereby
complementing the properties on
which they are to be installed.

Step 1
Delivered to site ready for
pointing (on the ground).
Step 2
Crane into position on the
trusses using the lifting eyes
and loops supplied.
Step 3
Drill through support plates
and screw to trusses using
the fixings provided.
Step 4
Batten over the support
plate as shown and tile
the roof.
Step 5
Apply the supplied sealant
to the channel before and
after flashing.
Step 6
The lead is then
dressed securely into
the flashing channel.
Our chimneys can be used with
most appliances including class 1
multi-fuel stoves
Venting Options
Many of the chimneys in the range
are available as fully working units,
suitable for venting both Class 1 & Class
2 appliances. These chimneys include a
pre-installed Twinwall flue system selected
to suit the particular requirements of the
project. Once on site the system is simply
linked to the existing flue system using
appropriate couplings.
All our
chimneys can
be made using
any brick or
stone.
