Cowls & Pots

Chimney Pots

Keep Out Rain, Downdraft, and Unwanted Visitors

Cowls and pots are more than just finishing touches—they’re essential to how your chimney functions. At Surrey and Sussex Stoves, we supply and install a full range of chimney cowls, bird guards, rain caps, and terracotta chimney pots designed to protect your flue and improve stove performance.

Whether you’re experiencing smoke blow-back, moisture ingress, or birds nesting in your chimney, we’ve got the right solution for your home.

What Are Chimney Cowls & Pots?
  • A chimney cowl is a cap or cover fitted to the top of your chimney. It helps regulate airflow, prevent downdraft, and block debris or birds from entering.
  • A chimney pot is a terracotta or metal pipe added to the top of a chimney stack, improving flue height and draft efficiency.
