Why is Chimney Sweeping important?

Regular chimney sweeping is of paramount importance. All flues should be swept and stoves thoroughly cleaned and serviced as per the manufacturers guidelines. However, depending on how often you use your stove and the type of fuel you are burning, sweeping and/or servicing may be required more frequently. 

Manufacturers warranties are only valid if a competent person carries out the sweeping and servicing at the correct intervals. Moreover, a growing number of insurance companies will require documented proof that the correct maintenance has been carried out. We can provide appropriate documentation with every chimney sweep and service carried out which details all of the work undertaken.

Chimney sweeping is essential to maintain the safe and efficient operation of your appliance or open fire. Due to the nature of the combustion process, deposits of soot and creosote can accumulate in the flue. This not only reduces its effectiveness and efficiency but more importantly compromises the safe operation and can potentially lead to a chimney fire.

Stove servicing is equally important. This involves a thorough inspection of the appliance body and its controls to ensure your appliance is operating both safely and efficiently. For more information on why you should get your chimney swept regularly please visit www.nacs.org.uk/advice.
