The Forest Coal Pit Sweep

26/03/2026

I’ve had some interesting chimney sweeps recently. A few holiday homes, Airbnb, glamping sites, boilers and cookers. All types of solid fuel (including oil) appliances swept - also the occasional gas flue when needed.

Please get in touch to book an appointment with an NVQ qualified and APICS registered chimney sweep. Thanks, Rob

Your chimney sweep knows their stuff!
Next time they visit, if you are unsure ask them:
✔️ How to best use the air controls on your stove
✔️ Whether your fuel is suitable
✔️ How to improve efficiency
✔️ Whether any repairs are needed
Sweeps are there to help you burn better and stay safe. 🔥😊

I do a lot of chimney sweeps and safety checks for new home owners. Unfortunately, sometimes there are hidden problems or safety issues identified. See photo comments for detail on some examples.

I would always encourage potential homebuyers to request that a sweep and inspection is carried out, or a recent chimney sweeping certificate provided for review to highlight any issues at an early stage.

Ensure your new home is warm and safe 🏡

Great advice from the South Wales Fire and Rescue Service around safe use of a fire to warm your home.

🔥 In 2024, attended 35 chimney fires.

As we head into the colder months, keep your home safe by following these tips:
✅ Have your chimney swept regularly
✅ Use ready to burn fuels
✅ Store logs or fuels safely away from your stove
✅ Always use a fireguard with open fires
✅ Check your smoke alarms weekly
✅ Never leave a fire unattended

Spring is here, don’t forget to put your clocks forward (tomorrow night), and book an end of season chimney sweep 🙂.

Aside from sweeping chimneys, I’ve been sorting firewood for next year, refurbishing an old stove, enjoying the sunshine, and witnessing action on the edge of space 💫.

It feels like spring is just around the corner. Have your chimney swept now to leave it nice and clean over the warmer months, ready to go when you next need it.

A few interesting chimney sweeps from the last week or so…

Weather conditions have been causing a few ‘cold plugs’ lately, where customers are struggling to get their fire started and drawing effectively. I’m always happy to advise on efficient wood burning, where possible. Follow my page for some upcoming hints and tips…

Chimney sweeping appointments available throughout February and beyond with you local APICS registered sweep. Cheers, Rob 07739763462.
