Sadly, we recently attended a property where another sweep had been carrying out work but failing to clean up properly before leaving.

The appliance itself wasn’t compliant due to lack of access into the register plate. When sweeping an unlined chimney, it’s absolutely critical that any soot and debris falling onto the register plate is fully removed. In this case, it hadn’t been - and a large build-up of soot and tar had accumulated.

As you can see from the video, this build-up had ignited, with debris dropping through cracked fire cement around the stove pipe. The chimney had been swept repeatedly, but the fall was simply left to sit on the register plate — creating a serious fire risk for the customer. Not good.

We carried out a full sweep, installed a proper access panel in the register plate, removed the cracked fire cement and replaced it with a reliable stove pipe collar.

Everything is now fully compliant with Building Regulations and most importantly, safe to use 👍🏻
