To reduce emissions from domestic wood burning & encourage best practice we need to understand the difference that the appliance and fuel we choose can make. 🔥Modern stoves burning dry wood account for a tiny fraction of total UK PM2.5 emissions. If you still use an open fire or older stove to burn wood at home, now is the time to consider switching to make a real difference.

This month the County Durham fire brigade put out 4 chimney fires. If you haven't had your chimney swept for a while it could be that instead of enjoying your fire, you're playing with fire....
Be safe, protect your family and your home, have your chimney swept.
