Don’t risk becoming a chimney fire statistic this winter! ❄️

Getting your chimney swept is important, but also acting safely as a stove owner. Like keeping your firewood a safe distance from your stove or open fireplace. It can be tempting to pile them close for ease of access but don't take the risk. ⛔🔥

It's essential to ensure you're burning responsibly and safely operating your appliance. Burning poor quality or wet wood provides a less efficient burn and will release more particulates. This will also increase your risk of a chimney fire! 🔥⚠️

Always refer to your manufacturer's instructions to ensure you're burning the correct fuel. Follow the below link to our Advice Hub for tips and guidance. 👇🔗

Carbon monoxide (CO) is an extremely poisonous gas that has no smell or taste. It can be left undetected if no CO alarm is present. 🚨

CO can be present in the fumes from the combustion of fuels that aren’t burnt under the correct conditions. Fuels such as gas, oil, solid mineral fuel, and biomass all have the potential to emit CO.

🔍 CCTV Chimney Surveys
Our CCTV inspections allow us to see inside your chimney and identify defects, blockages, or damage that can’t be seen from the outside.
All surveys are carried out in line with National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS) standards for your peace of mind.

A CCTV chimney survey can identify:
✔ Cracked or damaged flue liners
✔ Blockages and nesting
✔ Tar and creosote build-up
✔ Structural defects

🔥Nothing beats a real fire for warmth and atmosphere🔥

Did you know the benefits of getting your chimney swept:
• Removes soot and blockages that can cause chimney fires and carbon monoxide build-up
• Helps your fire burn better – improved airflow = better heat and less smoke emissions

• Protects your home – prevents smoke damage and nasty chimney smells
• Saves money – a clean chimney is more efficient and cheaper to run
• Receive recognised certification often required for insurance purposes
• Gives peace of mind – so you can relax and enjoy your fire properly

Slumbering your stove is when your appliance is set at minimal output, usually overnight, so that burning can be resumed without needing to relight a fire.

It can lead to:
🔴 Sooty and/or dry deposits on the flue lining
🔴 Increased levels of carbon monoxide and particulates
🔴 Increased likelihood of condensation within the chimney

These problems will contribute to a risk of corrosion, ultimately reducing the lifespan of your liner. Find further guidance on our Advice Hub or contact your local HETAS registrant. 👇🔗

🔥Carbon Monoxide – the silent threat.
If your home has a chimney, stove, fireplace or any fuel-burning appliance then please pay attention: blocked flues and poorly maintained chimneys can allow deadly Carbon Monoxide to build up in your home. The NACS strongly advises:

• Make sure your chimney, flue and appliance are inspected and swept regularly by a qualified NACS professional – a clear chimney/flue is essential.

• Fit a carbon monoxide alarm & test it regularly – Carbon Monoxide has no smell, colour or taste.

• Keep your air vents clear and ensure proper airflow is maintained.

Keep your home safer this season. Book a NACS registered sweep today. www.nacs.org.uk
