There’s always a lot of misinformation in today’s world… so, I thought I share this little snippet from one of my friends and colleagues..

🚨 Wood Burning Stoves Are NOT Being Banned: Here’s the Real Story 🚨

There’s been a lot of noise online recently claiming that wood burning stoves are about to be outlawed. The facts don’t support that claim.

✅ The UK government has stated that under the Future Homes Standard, wood burning stoves will still be allowed as a secondary heating option in new homes.

✅ Independent guidance from Which? confirms there are no plans to ban wood burners in 2025.

✅ The recent rules focus on cleaner air requiring Ecodesign stoves and restricting certain fuels in smoke control areas - but none of this amounts to a ban.

In reality: the dramatic headlines are misleading. The shift is toward safer, cleaner wood burning, not removing stoves from homes.

If you already own a stove or are looking to install one, the evidence shows they remain legal when used responsibly.

Feel free to share this post if you see friends or neighbours panicking over misleading claims. 👍

Oh dear..!! What have we here..??

Cowl that’s not a cowl…!!

These “vents” even have labelling on telling the buyer/person fitting it that it is unsuitable for a live chimney… if any kind.. ie gas/oil/solid fuel/wood..

But I frequently find them and just look at the mess.. a chimney fire waiting to happen..

Unfortunately for this customer a new liner is now required.. 😔

Well… what do we have here..?

Sadly, another case of poor workmanship..! 😢
After reporting problems - this gentleman had a recent visit from his “regular” sweep… of the last 10 + years… (2 weeks before to be exact)
His room was filling with smoke, no draw etc etc ..!
The sweep in question said he’d sort it… but was in and out in flash.. ..

Needless to say, the customer then re-encountered problems… he then called me.. and this is what I found…!

Completely blocked with hard clag/soot … it had obviously accumulated over a long period of time… ..

Here’s what Mr “X” of Shaftesbury wrote me.. 😊

“Dear Conal,

I was planning on writing to you again to say 'thank you for changing my life'! The fire continues to work wonderfully and the way I operate the wood-burner is now more careful and not burning too much wood at a time. It is all fantastic and how it should be. That is such a worry lifted from my mind. “

I took 7kgs of soot out of this flue!! 😦 ‼️ 😮

A little bit of a photo dump & update of the “busy” or as we say in the industry “silly” season so far… actually the tip of the iceberg… 😂 😮‍💨

Sweeping, new stoves and installations, new hearths, broken stoves and replacements, re-visiting previous installations for sweeping and maintenance, floods and blocked roads, birds nest removals, re-lining, Camera Inspections, designing for new installations, commercial property work (holiday lets & pubs 😉) and the odd gratefully received slice of home-made cake..🍰 🙏

It’s nearly Christmas 🎄 😘

This year I am taking part in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride to raise funds and awareness for mens health on behalf of Movember, and I need your help.

Movember is the world’s largest men’s health organisation focused on universal, game-changing and realistic outcomes for prostate cancer and men's mental health.

Prostate Cancer Statistics

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men.
307,000 men will die from prostate cancer each year.
Su***de Prevention – Men’s Mental Health

Su***de is the biggest killer of men aged 20-39, with ¾ of all su***des being male.
510,000 men die from su***de each year, that's one every minute.
This is a number that we seek to drastically change and can only been made possible through raising funds and awareness to help prevent men from dying too young.

Please support me on my ride by going to

https://www.gentlemansride.com/fundraiser/ConalLow-Grier574272

and making a donation to help fund men's health programs, and will help benefit men all over the world.

Thank you,

Conal.
