Why do I need to sweep my chimney?
You should have your chimney swept at least once a year as a bare minimum. This ensures your chimney is kept as clean as possible and prevents any build up that will become harder to remove if you leave it any longer. There is also a higher risk of a chimney fire
The best way to prove a chimney is being maintained is to show evidence such as a chimney sweep certificate. We provide a proof of sweep certificate.

What causes chimney fires? Chimney fires are often caused by a build up of tar/creosote or soot
