DO I NEED TO DO ANYTHING PRIOR TO MY SWEEP
No, we’ll do all that.
All we ask is that any special ornaments, fireside accessories are moved out of the way because we need a clear working space to sweep the chimney.
WHEN IS IT THE BEST TIME TO SWEEP MY CHIMNEY?
Ideally when the chimney is not being used. The summer months are typically favoured by many because if there are any remedial repairs needed, they are easier to undertake.
September to Christmas is always a very, very busy period for chimney sweeps, so book your sweep early to avoid disappointment.
WHY SHOULD MY GAS FLUE BE SWEPT?
A gas flue still needs to be ultra clean to ensure the appliance /fire you are using is running to the best of its ability and is of no danger to you.
A single cobweb can be an obstruction as can a build-up of dust particles.
