Chimney Sweeping

HETAS-Registered Excellence

Every sweep is carried out by fully qualified HETAS engineers using professional equipment. Our certification guarantees industry-standard workmanship and provides the documentation required by insurance companies.

Why Professional Chimney Sweeping is Essential

  • Safety First Regular chimney sweeping prevents dangerous soot and creosote build-up that can lead to chimney fires. Our thorough cleaning removes combustible deposits and identifies potential safety hazards before they become serious problems.

  • Efficiency & Performance A clean chimney draws more effectively, improving your stove's performance and reducing fuel consumption. Removing blockages and build-up ensures optimal airflow and maximum heat output from your wood burner or open fire.

  • Insurance Compliance Most home insurance policies require annual chimney sweeping certificates. Our HETAS-registered service provides the documentation you need to maintain full insurance coverage and meet policy requirements.

  • Legal Requirements In many areas, regular chimney maintenance is a legal requirement, especially in smoke control zones. Our certified service ensures you meet all local authority obligations and regulations.
