Did you know 3mm of soot accumulated in your flue will reduce its effectiveness by 20%.?
A working chimney needs to be swept once a year, this is because every time you burn a fire soot builds up in the chimney.
Too much soot poses a fire risk and will restrict dangerous gasses from escaping freely leading to fumes spilling in to your living area or even worse, starting a fire in your chimney.
At Clean Sweep our certified chimney sweep treats your home with respect by protecting it and ensuring we leave it as we find it.
We use clean sheets in front of your fireplace then seal the opening with a soot blocker, secured and sealed with industrial magnets. A hoover slips through the soot blocker thus preventing any dust getting past.
Every chimney sweep comes with a certificate which logs the appliance and flue details and details any remedial work recommended.
Many insurance companies now require a certificate of chimney sweeping.
This certificate is also perfect for keeping a record of your chimney maintenance and scheduling your next chimney sweep.
We provide a camera inspection with every chimney sweep.
We check for any blockages and wear and tear.
We make sure your chimney is safe and leave you satisfied that your flue and chimney is clean and effcient to use.
Birds find chimneys an ideal place to set up home due to the warmth and shelter chimneys provide.
However, birds nests can lead to dangerous blockages and chimney fires.
After removing the nest, our chimney sweep will carry out a CCTV camera inspection to confirm your chimney is clear.
