Why sweep your chimney?

Since the 19th century the process of having a chimney sweep has progressed.

It is now clean, quick and efficient.

All chimneys should be swept at least once a year. Heavy use of a wood or coal burning appliance will require more frequent sweeping - you need to remove deposits from the fire to clear and prevent any blockages. This will ensure that there are no poisonous gases released by the fire entering your home and will minimize the risk of a chimney fire.

Most fire brigades and insurance companies recommend sweeping at least once a year by a professional.

However cleaning is not the only reason for an annual visit. Our service includes a visual inspection and any safety issues are brought to the attention of the customer and noted on the receipt.

This and any advice is free.
