Question 1

How often should my chimney be swept?

Accepted Answer

At least once a year for gas or solid fuel. Wood-burning chimneys should be swept quarterly to keep them clean and safe.

Question 2

Why is regular sweeping important?

Accepted Answer

Regular sweeping reduces the risk of chimney fires, sootfalls and carbon monoxide exposure. It also helps your appliance burn efficiently.

Will you make a mess?

No. We lay clean sheets over your floors and furniture and use a complete brush-and-vacuum service with modern equipment, so soot is captured at the source.
