Avoid a chimney fire, call a chimney sweep!

It is recommended by the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps , HETAS and the Fire Service that you get your solid fuel open fire, oil /gas fire, or multifuel stove's chimney / flue swept at least once a year.
If you have recently moved into a new house with a fireplace, you should arrange a chimney sweep before you use the fire for the first time.

Top Tips for a Healthy Chimney

Clean Regularly

Whether you burn oil, gas, wood, coal or biomass, your chimney needs regular cleaning in order to burn efficiently and economically. It is crucial to avoid the build up of soot and creosote, seen here in the photos, that can cause a dangerous and costly chimney fire and lethal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Creosote can block up your chimney and stop fumes from escaping

Burn Carefully

Make sure that you are burning seasoned wood, that has dried out for a minimum of 1 year and note that different types of trees take even longer to dry out. Wood that has a high moisture content and cheap smokeless coal will release soot that can corrode your chimney and flue lining. 

Buy good quality wood. Look for the woodsure label.

Use Properly

Refresh your memory on how to use your burner/ appliance. Modern logburners are different to older ones so make sure you are getting the most heat out of your fuel and not wasting it or adding to Air Pollution.
Most manuals can be found online if you have lost yours.

Read your instruction manual

Spring Update

It's Spring and you may have birds trying to nest in your chimney. This can lead to expensive removal costs or even block your chimney when in use, leading to carbon monoxide poisoning. It's best to have a cowl fitted or if the fire has been removed or isn't used, get a capping cowl fitted to your chimney pot. Ask us about getting one fitted when your chimney sweep visits or send us a photo by email so that we can quote for you.

If you have now finished using your logburner until winter then it's the best time to have it swept.
