Why Sweep A Chimney?
- Safety: Regular sweeping removes soot, debris and creosote, reducing the risk of a chimney fire.
- Protect Your Health: Having your chimney swept will make sure that the flue is clear to allow fumes from gas and solid fuel fire to escape freely and safely out of the chimney or chimney system.
- Efficiency: Cleaning a chimney can improve the efficiency of a wood or multifuel stove or fire.
- Inspection: Having a chimney swept can identify hazards and weak spots. It can ensure that everything is functioning properly.
How Often Should A Chimney Be Swept?
It is recommended to sweep a chimney at least twice a year when burning wood, and at least once a year when burning smokeless fuels. But this can also depend on how much the appliance or fire is used.
Ideally, it is best to have your chimney swept just before the heating system, or after a wood or multifuel stove has not been used for a prolonged period.
If sweeping twice a year, the second time should be after the peak of the heating season.
