Why Regular Chimney Sweeping is Essential
Regular chimney sweeping isn't just a matter of cleanliness—it's about safety. Over time, soot, creosote, and other blockages can build up, causing significant risks like chimney fires or carbon monoxide poisoning. A professional chimney sweep ensures your chimney stays clear, your airflow is optimal, and your heating system works as it should.
What You Can Expect:
Thorough Chimney Sweeping: Cleaning to remove all soot, creosote, and other harmful build-up
Ventilation Testing: Smoke testing to ensure your chimney is venting properly and safely
Blockage Removal: Clearing obstructions like bird nests or debris that could impede airflow
Certification of Work: A professional certificate confirming your chimney has been properly swept and maintained
Stove & Fireplace Inspections: Comprehensive inspections and advice on safe burning practices

⚠️ 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.
