Bumby Sweeps & Stoves

09/04/2026

12 bags of birds nest, 3 1/2 hours later…. Chris had to remove all of this before he could install the Flexi liner for the new stove.
Make sure you have cowls and baskets secure on your chimney to stop those pesky birds nesting.

🔥 Bumby Sweeps & Stoves 🔥

• Helps identify any early issues before they become costly

🪺 Nesting season advice
Birds are actively looking for places to nest — and chimneys are a prime spot.

✔️ Install a chimney cowl to keep birds out

Chris has finished this beautiful install.
He removed the old stove, installed a flue liner, stone hearth, installed a new oak beam and shelf, brick slips over the whole breast (a lot of grouting), finished off with a the A+ rated Clock Blithfield 5 Multi fuel stove.
🔥 The bespoke oak fender was made to order by the talented Simon Parker. It really frames the whole fireplace.

The customer wanted a show stopping focal point for their new house and I definitely think this looks the part. 🤩

🔥 January–March is peak season for chimney fires — We had 4 calls over the Christmas period reporting chimney fires.

Here are three simple steps to protect your home:

🔴 Use Ready to Burn fuels
They burn cleaner, hotter and with less soot — meaning less creosote build-up in your chimney.

🔴 Follow guidance on distances to combustibles
Keep furniture, beams, mantels & shelves safely away from your stove.

🔴 Book regular servicing and chimney sweeps
A clean flue = lower risk + more efficient heat + safer home.

✨ Stay warm, stay safe — and if you haven’t booked your sweep yet… now’s the time!
Call 07840468672 to book in!

We always check you have a Carbon Monoxide Alarm situated in the correct place. See the Hetas guidelines attached for reference.
You must check regularly that they are working! 🔥

It's essential that carbon monoxide (CO) alarms are installed in the right position and checked regularly. ✔️🚨

The HETAS series of CO safety videos is a great resource to help you understand all you need to know, from the appropriate positioning to the signs and symptoms of CO poisoning. Check them out now! 👇🔗
