Friday the 13th? Send in the lucky sweep! 🎩🍀

Chimney sweeps are traditionally considered bringers of good luck — some couples even invite one to their wedding for a little extra fortune.

We can’t promise a lottery win, but we can sweep your chimney. Sadly, the lucky numbers aren’t included in the certificate. 😂

Are you superstitious, or is Friday the 13th just another day? 👇

Because SOOT HAPPENS… even on unlucky days!

“But my chimney’s got a liner…” It still needs sweeping! 🧹

A phrase we hear all the time!

A stainless-steel liner doesn’t make a chimney self-cleaning. Soot and other deposits can still build up inside, so regular sweeping and inspection remain part of looking after it.

Follow your liner and appliance manufacturers’ maintenance guidance, and agree a sweeping schedule suited to your fuel and how often you use the fire.

The liner may be out of sight — keep its next sweep on the calendar.

🏠 “Lang may yer lum reek!”

Who remembers hearing that growing up?

A lum is a chimney, and reek means to smoke. Literally, the saying means “long may your chimney smoke” — a traditional Scots wish for a long life and prosperity.

A smoking chimney once signalled an inhabited home. It’s a lovely reminder of how closely the hearth was tied to everyday life, right down to the words we still use.

As chimney sweeps, we’ve a soft spot for a saying that gives the chimney a starring role. 😄

Who in your family used to say it? Or have you another favourite Scots expression?

⚠️ This chimney liner collapsed on top of me.

It hadn’t been secured. These photos show why the parts hidden above your stove deserve proper attention.

You’ll often hear “closure plate” and “register plate” used interchangeably, but they have different jobs:

🔧 A closure plate closes the chimney opening around a connected liner, helping keep debris from the surrounding chimney void out of the fireplace.

🔧 A register plate is used where the stove pipe discharges into the masonry chimney without a directly connected liner. It forms part of the flue system and must be properly sealed to keep fumes out of the room.

🔧 The liner itself needs proper support and secure connections, following its manufacturer’s instructions. Fitting a plate alone doesn’t secure an unsupported liner.

Concerned about what’s above your stove? Have it professionally checked. If anything has dropped or become disconnected, leave the appliance unused until it’s assessed and made safe.

🪵 Ever noticed the strip of braided rope around the inside of your stove door? When the door closes, that rope forms a seal. A damaged seal can let extra air in and make the fire burn hotter than you intended.

Here’s a wee check for the next time your stove is completely cold. Open the door and follow the rope all the way round with your eye, including the bottom edge. Look for a section that’s coming apart or has slipped out of its groove.

If you spot damage, leave the stove unlit and have the seal put right before your next fire. Your stove manual sometimes it will tell you which replacement fits your model.

🔥 It’s a stove, not a game of log Tetris!

Just because you can squeeze another log in doesn’t mean you should. 😉

Overloading your stove can cause excess smoke and damage the appliance. The right amount of fuel depends on your particular model — there isn’t one magic number of logs that suits every stove.

Before your next fire, check the manufacturer’s instructions for the maximum fuel load and when to refuel. Aim for a comfortable evening, not a personal best in log stacking!

Save this as a reminder, or share it with your household’s chief fire-builder. 👇

🎸 STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN… CHIMNEY SWEEP EDITION! 🪜😂

We were in Glasgow today sweeping at a top-floor tenement flat—and the stairs outside were only the warm-up!

Up a flight. Round the corner. Another flight. At one point we wondered whether we were heading to a fireplace or an audition with Led Zeppelin. 🤣

Who needs a gym membership when Glasgow tenements include leg day with every booking? 💪

Worth the climb, though. What a lovely building, with that tiled close and stained glass. A proper Glasgow classic. 🖤💛

Top-floor flat? Don’t worry—we’ll bring the kit and our best stair-climbing legs!
