"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

🚫 TIP: Never leave your stove burning overnight on low.
It’s unsafe, inefficient, and can lead to serious chimney and stove issues.
Why it’s a bad idea:
Insufficient airflow = build up of dangerous creosote in the flue.
A low burn means your stove’s not reaching high enough temps to burn efficiently.
Overnight burns increase the risk of carbon monoxide buildup in the home.
What to do instead:
Extinguish the fire before bed and clean the stove out if needed.
If you want the stove ready in the morning, top up the fire just before you go to bed, or plan to light it fresh in the morning.
This way, you avoid dirty glass, clogged flues, and any risks to your safety.
