Van Dyke Sweeps

Van Dyke Sweeps Brighton Based chimney sweep. Safe, clean and reliable. And inevitably a Brighton chimney sweep will spend much of their time on bird nest removals.

My goal is simple - to make sure the fires and stoves I work with are safe, clean and efficient so my customers are free to enjoy them. Annual or biannual chimney sweeps make up the majority of my work, this includes inspecting the chimney and the fireplace or stove and issuing a certificate of sweeping. However, I also perform camera inspections using the latest flue camera technology and provide

a copy of the video to you, my customer. While bird nest removal can be labour intensive, it is all part of the job for a Sussex chimney sweep.

​But I do more than sweep chimneys in Sussex, to help get the best out of your fire I take the time to talk with you. Where the fire cement in the stove pipe joints has degraded, I'll reseal them with new fire cement. It's not just the flue that is cleaned, where necessary I'll give your stove a clean, including the glass, as part of my service. For me it’s about the whole package. The chimney sweeping, the advice and the service is all part of the job. So if you are you looking for a professional and friendly Brighton chimney sweep to keep your chimney clean and safe so you can sit back and enjoy your fire, or you want advice on how to get the best out of your stove, wood-burner or open fire, then give me a call. It doesn't matter if you need a chimney sweep in Hassocks or Hove, Brighton or Burgess Hill, Lewes or Lancing, Shoreham or Seaford, Worthing or Woodingdean, Van Dyke Chimney Sweeps have got you covered!

WHY GET YOUR CHIMNEY SWEPT ?

Carbon Monoxide (CO) is a colourless, tasteless and odourless gas. It is known to be highly toxic, can cause severe illness and in the worst cases, death. It is slightly lighter than air, however as the difference is small, in a contained environment such as a room in a house the gas will naturally diffuse evenly.

It is produced when there is not enough oxygen available in a fire to efficiently burn the fuel and since 1995 has been cited as the cause of over 700 deaths in the UK (http://www.co-gassafety.co.uk).

The lack of oxygen in a fire may be caused by limiting the airflow across the fire. This could be caused by:

Having a restricted or even blocked chimney
Inadequate or blocked ventilation in the room
The vents on a stove/wood burner being closed

While your fire will be producing CO gas, in normal circumstances this and the other gases produced in the burning process will be vented out safely through your chimney. However, if your chimney is compromised in any way or your appliance has not been properly maintained there is the chance for these gasses to leak back into the house and not necessarily the room where the fireplace is.

Having your chimney swept regularly will help prevent it from becoming blocked. However, as shown above, having your chimney swept is only part of the story. How your appliance or fireplace is maintained is equally important as well as how you manage your fires.

In addition, Van D**e Sweeps include a service inspection of your fireplace or stove as standard when we sweep your chimney. We will carry out any minor maintenance on the spot, free of charge, and will offer advice on the condition of your appliance.

While we will do our best to ensure your chimney and fire place is operating as safely as possible, we also strongly recommend that you have a Carbon Monoxide alarm fitted.

In Summary:-

Get your chimney swept regularly

Have your appliance inspected annually and ensure it is well maintained

Never fully close the vents on your stove/wood burner

Ensure there is adequate ventilation in the room where the fireplace is

Fit a Carbon Monoxide alarm
