Why annual Chimney Sweeping Matters
Regular chimney sweeping is essential to prevent hazards like chimney fires, carbon monoxide leaks and reduced stove efficiency. Keeping your chimney clean ensures your home remains safe and your appliances operate at their best.
If you burn wood or smokeless coal, your chimney needs regular attention to stay safe and efficient. Think of it like a health check for your heating system.

Local Knowledge You Can Trust
Tyneside has a mix of chimney types, from older Victorian stacks in South Shields to newer installations across Gateshead and North Tyneside. I’ve worked across the region and understand the quirks that come with local builds, weather exposure, and typical fuel use. My job isn’t just to sweep — it’s to make sure everything is running right for your particular setup.
Tip
To maximize your chimney's efficiency, always burn dry, seasoned wood, less than 20% moisture content. Wet or green wood produces more creosote, which can lead to blockages and increase the risk of chimney fires. Store your firewood in a covered, ventilated area to keep it dry and ready to use.
