Prior to my arrival all I require is, a clear passage from the front door to the chimney and adequate space to work in. Please remove any ornaments or delicate items from around the hearth and mantel piece.
I take extra care by using thick uPVC sheets for your floor and also use a number of techniques for preventing dust from escaping. I always try to ensure that chimney sweeping is a very tidy operation so you do not need to cover your furniture but of course you can do so if you wish for your own peace of mind.
I will be using state-of-the-art chimney sweeping equipment in strict accordance with the current regulations and approved sweeping methods. Once the sweeping process is complete I will perform a smoke draw test, advise you on any aspect of your solid fuel use and issue an insurance recognised certificate.
How often should you clean your chimney?
It is extremely important to keep your chimney clean from soot and blockages, helping to prevent a fire in your chimney or harmful gases being released. Here is a rough guide as to how often you should have your chimney cleaned:
- Smokeless Coals: Once a year
- Wood: Twice a year when in use
- Bitumous Coal: Twice a year
- Oil: Once a year
- Gas: Once a year
