"What a great service. With a cream carpet and walls I was a little worried that the soot would get everywhere as we haven't had our chimney swept for years. Really pleased with the result and attention to detail. First class service from a lovely guy." Helen in Whitley Bay

Why Annual Sweeping is Important
Annual chimney sweeping is essential to maintain the safety and efficiency of your stove or fireplace. Soot, creosote and debris can build up inside a chimney or flue, restricting airflow and increasing the risk of chimney fires or carbon monoxide entering the room.
Regular sweeping helps keep the flue clear and allows potential problems to be identified before they become more serious. Some chimneys may need sweeping more than once a year depending on the fuel used and how often the appliance is operated.
Tip: Avoid Slumbering Your Stove Overnight
Running a stove continuously at a low temperature can increase soot and creosote deposits because the fuel burns less efficiently and the flue remains cooler.
Do not leave the appliance burning unattended unless the stove manufacturer specifically states that it is designed for overnight burning. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions, use properly seasoned fuel and make sure a working carbon monoxide alarm is fitted.
