Even if your fireplace or stove appears to be working perfectly, your chimney and flue can gradually accumulate soot, creosote, debris, bird nesting materials and other blockages.

Over time, these deposits can restrict airflow, reduce efficiency and significantly increase the risk of a chimney fire.

Regular sweeping also helps prevent dangerous fumes, including carbon monoxide, from being forced back into your home due to poor ventilation.

 

What many homeowners don't realise is that an unused chimney can also create problems.

Dust, soot particles, birds debris, mould spores and allergens can build up inside the flue and find their way into the living space, affecting indoor air quality and potentially aggravate allergies and respiratory conditions.

 

Many home insurance policies require chimneys serving solid fuel appliances, wood burners and open fires to be maintained and swept regularly.

As an Insurance Approved Chimney Sweep, we provide a Certificate following each service, giving you a record of professional maintenance for your own peace of mind. In the event of a fire or insurance claim, insurers may request evidence that the chimney has been properly maintained.

We recommend an annual check & sweep.

For convenience, we send all our clients a reminder before their Certificate runs out.
