We don't just tickle the flue! 😂

There's a lot more to chimney sweeping than pushing a brush up and down!

As well as sweeping chimneys, I service and repair stoves, replace worn firebricks, baffles, door seals and glass, and sort out all sorts of problems along the way.

Every sweep includes routine safety checks and a HETAS sweeping certificate.

The diary is keeping Gemma busy, so if your chimney is due a sweep or your stove needs a bit of attention, it's worth getting in touch sooner rather than later.

For bookings, call or message Gemma on 07383 443773. 😊

Stay safe,

Tom

A worn stove door or glass seal can quietly undermine your fire, letting in unwanted air and making efficient burning harder.

These rope seals had definitely seen better days, so I removed the old ones and fitted fresh replacements.

For stove owners, the takeaway is simple: check your seals regularly. If they look frayed, flattened, or damaged, replacing them can improve control of the fire, support more efficient burning, and help your stove perform as it should.

It’s just one of the important details I check when servicing a stove. 🔥

Before the colder weather arrives, make sure your chimney and stove are ready to keep your home warm and safe.

It’s been a busy few weeks, with plenty of chimneys swept and a shed load of new parts supplied and installed.

We’re still taking bookings, so get in touch if your chimney is due a sweep or your stove needs some attention.

From wood burners to large open fireplaces like this one, we’re happy to help.

Every sweep includes routine safety checks and a HETAS sweeping certificate.

For bookings, give Gemma a call or message on 07383 443773. 😊

It's definitely not meant to do that! 😮

This is one of the reasons I always smoke test after every sweep! 🔥

I had the pleasure of giving this Clock Blithfield its maiden sweep this week.

It's the first one I've come across with a brass door handle and control k***s, and I absolutely love it! 😍🔥

What a stunning view over the River Witham! 🌈I love living and working around Tattershall Bridge. 😊

Just look at this! 😍

This is good soot! 😂 This is what we're aiming for.

Brown, powdery and almost fluffy — exactly what I like to see coming out of a chimney.

A good sign that the stove is being burned well and the fuel is nice and dry. 🔥

A little bit of love was required for this 14-year-old ACR Buxton.

I carried out the annual sweep and gave it a health check. With the parts ready and waiting, a new rear plate and firebricks were fitted.

A good clean up, everything checked over and then a test fire to make sure it was all working as it should.

Not bad for 14 years old! 🔥

I'm not too sure I can remove this blockage! 😂
