Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of regular chimney sweeping and stove servicing?
Regular chimney sweeping protects from the dangers of chimney fires, ensuring that the flue system is clear for gases to flow smoothly up and out of your chimney. It also facilitates a good "draw" for your fire. Soot and other deposits accumilate in chimneys which can cause chimney fires. Creosote build up is the most dangerous as it is highly flammable. Even when not in use a chimney can become dangerous to use if a bird has chosen to nest in it or other materials have accumilated over time. Annual appointments could even extend any warranty on your appliance!
