Why Regular Chimney Sweeping is Important

Many homes across South Tyneside, particularly older terraced and coastal properties, still rely on wood burners, multi-fuel stoves and open fires throughout the colder months. Over time, soot, creosote and debris can build up inside the chimney or flue, increasing the risk of chimney fires, poor chimney draw and carbon monoxide issues.

Regular chimney sweeping helps keep your chimney, stove and flue operating safely and efficiently while reducing the risk of dangerous blockages and excessive soot build-up.

What You Can Expect:

Thorough chimney sweeping to remove soot, creosote and harmful deposits
Smoke testing to check chimney draw and ventilation
Removal of blockages such as bird nests or debris
Stove and fireplace inspections with advice on safe burning practices
A certificate of work provided on completion

⚠️ Tip: Don’t buy firewood off Facebook or the bloke down the road – it’s not worth it.

That “cheap” load of logs from someone on Facebook Marketplace, Gumtree or a van parked at the roadside? It’s probably illegal, soaking wet, and will wreck your stove and flue.

Here’s the truth:

Anyone selling firewood in England must follow the Ready to Burn legislation.
Logs under 2m³ must be Woodsure certified – if they’re not, the seller’s breaking the law.
Wet wood burns poorly, causes thick tar deposits, and raises your risk of chimney fire.
You’ll end up paying more in the long run – in fuel, repairs, and sweeps.

Stick to the good stuff:

Look for the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ logo.
Ask for moisture content – should be 20% or less.
Don’t be afraid to walk away if it looks dodgy.

If it seems cheap and easy, there’s a reason. Burn rubbish wood, and you’ll be calling me out more often – and not for the right reasons.
