FAQs
Should Chimney Sweeping Be Done Annually?
Yes. Over time, soot, creosote, and debris can accumulate in your chimney, leading to serious hazards like chimney fires, dangerous carbon monoxide leaks, or inefficient stove performance. Annual chimney sweeps are essential to prevent these risks and ensure your fireplace or stove operates at its best, providing you with peace of mind and a clean, safe home environment.
Do you provide a certificate after sweeping?
Yes. I issue a full sweep certificate for every completed job. This is useful for insurance, landlord compliance, and peace of mind.
Quick Tip: Use a Stove Thermometer
Get yourself a stove pipe thermometer. If you're burning too cool, you're coating the flue in sticky tar that’s a nightmare to remove. Too hot, and you're burning through fuel unnecessarily. Stay in the “optimum” zone to save money and keep your chimney cleaner for longer.
