This liner hadn’t been swept for quite some time and was found to be badly corroded and no longer safe to use.

At the end of the video, you can clearly see the heavy, caked-on build-up of soot and creosote inside the liner.

Regular sweeping helps remove damaging deposits and can highlight problems before they become more serious and expensive.

Attended a job today where a jackdaw nest had collapsed down into the fireplace, and a young bird had fallen out with it. I checked the flue thoroughly with a camera to make sure there were no more young birds trapped higher up — thankfully, there weren’t.
Once confirmed clear, the collapsed nest was removed, which came to around nine rubble sacks of debris.

Just a reminder: bird nests are protected by law, and if this one hadn’t collapsed naturally, it couldn’t have been removed until late August/early September when the nesting season ends.

The young jackdaw is now safe and being cared for by the brilliant team at in Sunderland.

🔥 Government Consultation on Solid Fuel Burning: What You Need to Know
The UK Government has launched a new consultation on domestic solid‑fuel burning, focusing on reducing emissions to improve air quality.
Here’s what it actually means for stove owners:

No ban on stoves – existing appliances are not being removed.

Stricter emission limits for new stoves placed on the market.

Mandatory labels on stoves and fuels so customers can clearly see emissions and permitted fuels.

Tougher penalties for suppliers selling non‑compliant fuels like wet wood.

As always, using the right fuel, keeping your chimney swept, and burning clean and dry makes the biggest difference to performance, safety, and emissions.

📅 Consultation closes: 19 March 2026

Build it top‑down and your fire starts quicker, needs no constant topping up, and produces far less smoke outside. Cleaner burn, better draw, and a lot less hassle.

🔥 Hardwood Logs: Quick Guide

Not all hardwoods burn the same — knowing how each behaves keeps your stove running well and your chimney safe.

Oak – hard to light, but burns long and steady. Best added to a hot, established fire.
Ash – lights easily, burns evenly, and gives consistent heat. Your everyday, safe choice.
Beech – hotter than oak but slower than birch. Great when you want good heat without waiting all evening.
Birch – fast, lively flames. Perfect for lighting a fire or boosting heat quickly. Works best mixed with denser hardwoods.

✅ Only use Ready to Burn logs
✅ Keep airflow open
❌ Don’t smother the fire or overload the stove

Different hardwoods do different jobs. Burn the right log at the right time, and your chimney stays cleaner, safer, and ready for winter.
