The company
constantly strives to increase awareness of the benefits of
its cast-in-situ system.
What the CICO cast-in-situ system provides is a permanent
lining that will not need replacement. It is suitable for
all fuel types and has no joints to leak, or metal to corrode.
During installation it seals inner brickwork in defective
chimneys and it is highly efficient due to its insulating
properties.
It is environmentally friendly – an appliance uses less
fuel for the same heat output with a CICO flue lining.
Customers who choose CICO are drawn to the company by their
depth of knowledge and continued high standards. They receive
the assurance of a high quality installation with the backing
of a national network of operators all trained to CICO standards
of competency. CICO can also offer a complete service package
including CCTV survey, advice, fireplace or appliance installation,
flue lining and chimney repairs, and fume assessment. For
this reason the company attracts a wide customer base ranging
from individual householders to builders, architects, public
houses and hotels, insurance companies, local authorities
and housing associations. Over the years CICO have worked
on a number of prestigious contracts, including several large
country houses and National Trust properties. They do not
focus on any one market sector, but by its very nature the
system is called for wherever there is a problem chimney.
With the current emphasis on flue safety, and in particular
a heightened awareness to the dangers of Carbon Monoxide emissions
in flue gas, the market is fairly buoyant given the current
economic climate. This is further enhanced by a general return
to open fires as a focal point in housing. Future plans are
to further raise awareness of the cast-in-situ system, with
a possible shift to the new build sector. The introduction
of new government Building Regulations (Document J) on April
1st 2002, which for the first time bring flue lining in existing
properties under building control, are a welcome safety measure
to protect the householder. CICO are particularly pleased
to see that these regulations actually specify the cast-in-situ
system as one of the accepted methods of lining.
