Chimney cleaning and maintenance
Prioritising safety is critical if you use a solid fuel fire. Solid fuel fires, just like gas appliances, can emit carbon monoxide, which can be very dangerous. Regular sweeping by our team of professional chimney sweeps can reduce this risk and help reduce the risk of a chimney fire.
By keeping your chimney clean and clear of debris this can ensure that any harmful gases are vented out of your home.
​
In addition to our chimney cleaning service, we can we also offer a range of chimney repair services. Chimneys often require maintenance and repair, such as lining and the replacement of chimney cowls or pots. Even if your chimney appears to be free from blockages it may still benefit from a thorough clean.
​
Our team will help to ensure the optimal performance and safety of your chimney system and we will issue an insurance approved certificate on completion of our work providing you with peace of mind and evidence that your chimney has been professionally cleaned and inspected.

Your chimney sweep questions answered
1. Why should I get my chimney swept by a registered sweep? As a registered sweep business we have been trained and assessed to ensure that we operate to the highest standards within the industry. The tools and kit we employ to do the job have also been assessed to ensure that it is up to the job and can do an efficient, effective job, leaving the chimney in a clean and safe condition.
2. How often should I get my chimney swept? That depends on fuel used and the frequency with which the fire is used. All chimneys should be swept a minimum of once a year. If you burn wood, it should be swept more often to prevent the build-up of tarry residue. Coal fires should also be swept regularly to get rid of the soot build up if used on a regular basis. We can give advice on how often, once we have swept it and spoken to you, to determine the use.
3. What happens if I don’t get my chimney swept? You run the risk of having a visit from the fire service! At best it will be several hefty men trampling through your house. At worst it will be damage to the chimney or the loss of your home if not extinguished soon enough. If you can’t prove to the insurance company that you have had your chimney swept either, then they may refuse to pay. Don’t run the risk for the sake of a few pounds, have it swept regularly and have peace of mind.
4. I’ve heard that steel lined chimneys don’t need sweeping? Absolutely wrong! No chimney is self-cleaning. In fact, a lined chimney may need sweeping more often as the diameter is smaller than a normal chimney.
