Couple of before, during and after a sweep. This is showing why it’s important to have your chimney swept. Soot left up in your flue can create a poor draught leading to underperforming and inefficient stove which can even lead to chimney fires.

I’ve recently had the pleasure of visiting a local training centre to learn more on installing stoves and had the chance to do a full install from the Slate Hearth from M.A.C. Metalcraft Ltd the heat shield from Midtherm Flue Systems the twin wall flue system from Mi-Flues Limited, the stove below is Hamer Fires brand new basset 5 stove and what a stove it is, from a sweeps perspective it’s an absolute dream to work with, there was also a new Recoheat installed in the flue system, a video review on the Hamer Fires basset 5 stove and the Recoheat will soon follow this post.

Had a call out to a unlined stove with blockage issues, after learning a previous sweep had snapped and left their rod head up there for 7 years, once the required tool was delivered in quick time thanks to Rotary Power Sweeping - SnapLok UK , we then were able to get the brush head down and do our full sweep of the chimney which was caked in soot since nothing could escape the chimney due to the blockage.

After the the blockage was removed a basic sweep and door rope seal replacement were carried out. At the end we done a smoke test 2 and a spillage test to ensure there was no smoke out of the chimney breast and no smoke then spilling back into the room.

All services included:
Numerous camera surveys
Unblocking the chimney
Chimney sweep
Door rope seal replacement
Smoke test 2
Spillage test

We also advised to have a cowl fitted to the pot to prevent any rain or birds from getting in the chimney and to possibly have a flexi liner installed as this will help the stove burn efficiently and be more cost effective.

How do you store your firewood correctly and safely? 🪵🔥

It is tempting to pile firewood near your stove or open fireplace for ease of access. However, like all combustible materials, logs should be stored safely away from the stove.
