Product Description

What is a Chimney Balloon ?

Original and best

Our Chimney Balloon is the original inflatable draught excluder for chimneys, and now it’s even tougher! It’s still the most effective and safest option out there, keeping your home cosy and draft-free.

Make your home more energy efficient

The nifty device sits inside a chimney to stop warm air from escaping up a chimney and cold air from getting in.

Removable and easy to use

The removable chimney draught excluder simply needs placing in the chimney, inflating and hey presto! Energy savings galore!

Benefits of a Chimney Balloon

Saves energy by stopping warm air escaping through your chimney
Reduces energy bills by an average of 4%
Reduces CO2 output
Stops wildlife and debris falling through the chimney
Reduces wind noise down a chimney

How does a Chimney Balloon work?

Works like double glazed windows!

Putting a Chimney Balloon in your open chimney is like giving it the benefits of double glazing. The balloon inflates to snugly fit against all four walls, holding itself firmly in place. There's a tiny vent on the side that lets a little air flow through, so your chimney can "breathe" while still being a great draught stopper and preventing any dampness.

Stops warm air escaping from your home!

The balloon's clever double-walled design lets it puff up like a cozy pillow, snugly sealing off the chimney. With its top and bottom layers creating a double barrier, the balloon traps air inside, acting as insulation. This means cold air can't sneak down the chimney, and warm air stays put, not drifting away.

Enjoy a warmer home!

Once you install a Chimney Balloon, it doesn't just stop warm air from escaping up the chimney—it also prevents cold drafts from sneaking in through other places like gaps in doors and windows. So, when you turn on the heating, it stays inside, warming your home more effectively instead of slipping away through the chimney. You might even find you can turn the heating down a notch!

Our Chimney Balloons vs others on the markets

100% safe – The Chimney Balloon is the safest inflatable chimney draught excluder on the market. Each balloon comes with a ‘Remember to Remove’ tag to remind you to take it out before you light a fire.
PVC free – our balloon is the only one the market that is PVC free. When heated PVC emits harmful quantities of dioxins which are highly toxic to humans.
Available in four different sizes – Don’t waste your money on those one-size-fits-all Chimney Balloons—chimney sizes vary a lot, and one size definitely doesn’t fit all! You’ll end up with gaps and pesky drafts. We offer four different sizes so you can find the perfect fit for your chimney and keep those drafts out.
Made in the UK – all our Chimney Balloons are made in Watford. The workshop has made hundreds of thousands of successful Chimney Balloons that have been exported all over the world.
A quality product – Every detail, from the materials to the double-layer design, ensures the Chimney Balloon works effectively and lasts for years.

How do I fit my Chimney Balloon?

1. Inflate a little

2. Locate it in position

3. Continue to inflate until it holds itself in place.

4. You can use the mouth inflation tube or a foot pump to do this (although a foot pump makes life a lot easier).

5. If you used the mouth inflation tube, the balloon might shrink a bit as it cools. Just add a bit more air to fill it out again!

6. Hang the “Remember to Remove” notice somewhere where it’s visible

7 If you're installing the Chimney Balloon in a windy spot with a strong updraft, it's smart to tie it to the grate with a piece of string. That way, it won't get whisked up the chimney!

Write a customer review

Customers say

Customers are satisfied with the draft stopper's temperature control and functionality. However, some have issues with deflating quickly, durability, and value for money. They mention it deflates after a day or two and needs to be re-inflated daily. Some also mention it's not well-made and falls to bits after 2 months. There are mixed opinions on how well it fits.

Temperature control Functionality Ease of installation Fit Deflateability Durability Value for money Sturdiness

9 customers mention ‘Temperature control’9 positive0 negative

Customers appreciate the draft stopper's ability to control temperature. It stops the chimney from leaking heat out of the room and keeps the cold feeling from returning. The product is an effective insulator, blocking drafts and wind from entering the chimney.

"In the chimney keeping drafts out as well as stopping random bits of twig, etc falling into the fireplace. Fits well and maintains its inflation...." Read more

"Does a good job keeping the wind out and insects also. Good price also" Read more

"Stops the chimney leaching heat out of the room. Once in place, it can easily be kept inflated be the odd top up." Read more

"...But on the other hand, it stops heat loss up the chimney and drafts coming down it, so should pay for itself eventually...." Read more

8 customers mention ‘Functionality’8 positive0 negative

Customers like the functionality of the draft stopper. They say it works better than expected, works for a short while, and has no problems. However, some customers report it doesn't work at all, bursts, or helps a little bit.

"I bought 2 balloons at the same time. One works absolutely fine, it stays up the chimney...." Read more

"The idea of this is great, and works for a short while. But it keeps going down." Read more

"No use at all" Read more

"It helps a little bit. But that's all." Read more

7 customers mention ‘Ease of installation’7 positive0 negative

Customers find the draft stopper easy to install and use. They say it fits well and is a quick fix for their problem.

"...Fits well and maintains its inflation. Easy to instal too." Read more

"...The install was straight forward but the mouth piece tube is rubbish and it will not stay connected when inflating the device...." Read more

"Easy to install but after a couple of weeks I noticed that keeps deflating. Doesn’t seem to have a puncture so must be the valve." Read more

"it is a quick fix if you have this problem" Read more

12 customers mention ‘Fit’7 positive5 negative

Customers have different views on the fit of the draft stopper. Some find it easy to use and install, with a nice size chart. Others say it's not suitable for their chimney and the label was wrong.

"...Fits well and maintains its inflation. Easy to instal too." Read more

"This was supposed to fit but when fully inflated it is marginally too small" Read more

"It's a very large size which is just what we wanted to fill the wide space we have up our chimney...." Read more

"...It is just not fit for purpose. A smaller chimney one may be fine but it is definitely not suited to our chimney" Read more

31 customers mention ‘Deflateability’5 positive26 negative

Customers are unhappy with the draft stopper's deflateability. They mention it deflates a day or two after going in, keeps falling out each time, and needs to be re-inflated daily. The balloon keeps twisting as it is inflated, making it impossible to blow into if the balloon sits high in the air. It took a long time to inflate and clearly started to deflate after a few hours.

"...It's now Monday evening and it has lost pressure whilst just being on the floor..." Read more

"...but the mouth piece tube is rubbish and it will not stay connected when inflating the device...." Read more

"...The tube you blow into is short so this also makes it impossible to blow into if the balloon sits high in the chimney." Read more

"deflated within 24hrs. nothing more to be said" Read more

25 customers mention ‘Durability’0 positive25 negative

Customers are unhappy with the draft stopper's durability. They say it's poorly made, falls apart after a short time, and rips easily when touching bricks. Some report that the balloon punctures or tears on installation, even after being careful.

"...The install was straight forward but the mouth piece tube is rubbish and it will not stay connected when inflating the device...." Read more

"...This will leave to jagged edges within the flue. This product is so cheaply made and should have a much thicker material for the balloon to..." Read more

"...The other must have a slow puncture as it will not stay up...." Read more

"Not a great product really. Disappointed with this purchase. Not particularly easy to install...." Read more

24 customers mention ‘Value for money’4 positive20 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the value for money of the draft stopper. They say it's overpriced and doesn't stay inflated for long.

"Not a great product really. Disappointed with this purchase. Not particularly easy to install...." Read more

"It's quite a lot of money for a plastic bag, valve and tube...." Read more

"...the inflation tube - this is necessary accessory but over priced for a piece of plastic tube. I felt I had been ripped off" Read more

"...WASTE OF MONEY" Read more

9 customers mention ‘Sturdiness’0 positive9 negative

Customers find the draft stopper ineffective. It keeps falling out of chimneys and getting stuck there.

"...The other must have a slow puncture as it will not stay up...." Read more

"...It deflated a day or two after going in and kept falling out each time I inflated it. It is just not fit for purpose...." Read more

"The idea of this is great, and works for a short while. But it keeps going down." Read more

"...We followed the instructions. Now we cant reach it anymore and it is stuck there. We can’t get it out and we will habe to hire a person for that...." Read more

It definingly worked as the dust pass the torch beam now stop rushing through the opening and up the chimney. The install was straight forward but the mouth piece tube is rubbish and it will not stay connected when inflating the device.

So far it is doing what it says on the tin, happy to report back in a few months and see if it stays up there.

Undurable, over priced and poor quality
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 April 2019
Verified Purchase
I give both good and bad reviews when they are deserved, to aid other potential customers and sometimes in the hope that the manufacturer will take heed.

The plastic balloon on this product is around the thickness of a 10p supermarket carrier bag. It is not at all a durable material that may be subjected to mildly sharp bits of brick etc you would LIKELY find up a chimney. It also has a superfluous joint in the plastic feed pipe that should be
designed out of this product. I had to secure the latter.

I very gently inserted this product into the chimney and gently blew it up. I could hear hissing quite soon afterwards. I deflated it and eased it out to duct tape over the holes. I also duct taped a few bits that looked to be slightly damaged.

A chimney over many years use will have bits of the cement courses falling out due to the heating and cooling effects when the fire is or isn't in use. This will leave to jagged edges within the flue. This product is so cheaply made and should have a much thicker material for the balloon to mitigate.

I will not be using this product again unless they make a product that is fit for purpose.

Imperfect product
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 May 2019

I bought 2 balloons at the same time. One works absolutely fine, it stays up the chimney. The other must have a slow puncture as it will not stay up. I have now missed the returns window, as I appreciated I have to make sure it is in the best position, so I have the choice of shelling out another 25 quid for a new one or re-inflating it at least once a week which is a messy job, as it brings soot down. Not happy.....
