You know you’re in for a challenge when the register plate looks like this… 😬

Another unlined log burner we’ve swept recently — and as always, much dirtier and trickier to clean. These setups allow soot and tar to build up far quicker, they’re harder to sweep properly, and they’re nowhere near as efficient as a correctly lined installation.

Having a liner improves draw, keeps things cleaner, and helps the stove run safer and more efficiently.

If you’re unsure whether your stove is lined or not, drop us a message and we’ll be happy to advise. 🔥

Another unlined stove in for a sweep, these are always dirtier and more awkward than a properly lined installation.

Unlined stoves also usually fall short of current regulations and can impact safety, efficiency, and long-term chimney health.

If you’re unsure whether your stove is unlined or lined and compliant with current regulations, we’re happy to check it for you🔥

Here’s a multi-fuel stove we recently repaired, swept, and tested🔥

A bit of annual maintenance goes a long way - far better than waiting until something fails and needing expensive parts or a full replacement.

If your stove needs a service or a sweep, get in touch and we’ll get it burning like new again.

This customer mentioned he’d had a couple of chimney fires recently, so he reckoned it should be pretty clean by now…

That’s not quite how it works! 🔥

A chimney fire doesn’t actually clean the flue - it leaves behind glazed soot and tar that are even harder to remove, and it can cause serious internal damage to the liner or brickwork.

Regular sweeping is the safest and most effective way to keep your chimney clean and prevent fires in the first place.

This one was definitely up there with some of the worst we’ve seen - but all sorted now and safe to use again.

Here’s an unlined log burner we swept recently - always dirtier and much harder to clean.

Having a stainless steel liner makes all the difference for safety, efficiency, and keeping your chimney in good condition.
