Flue Sweep - Inglenook

Service Description

Professional Chimney Sweeping for Solid Fuel Stoves We provide expert chimney and flue sweeping services specifically for traditional Inglenook fires. This essential maintenance involves a thorough clean of your entire flue system, carefully removing dangerous soot, creosote (tar-like deposits), bird nests, and other debris that build up over time. Why Regular Sweeping is Crucial Without regular professional sweeping, these build-ups can lead to: - Serious chimney fires – creosote is highly flammable and can cause intense, hard-to-control blazes. - Carbon monoxide poisoning – blocked flues prevent deadly gases from escaping safely. - Poor performance – restricted airflow means your fire burns less efficiently, using more fuel and producing less heat. A clean flue not only keeps your home safe but also ensures your stove or open fire works at its best, saving you money on fuel and extending the life of your appliance. Recommended Sweeping Frequency (UK Guidelines) - Wood-burning stoves: At least twice a year (or quarterly if used heavily). - Smokeless fuels: At least once a year. - Coal or bituminous fuels: At least twice a year. - Open fires: Generally once or twice a year, depending on usage. Often home insurance policies require proof of regular sweeping, and we always provide a certificate after every visit. Don’t leave it to chance – book your professional sweep today for complete peace of mind and a safer, warmer home this winter.
