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.
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.
Professional removal of soot, debris, and blockages using modern power sweeping equipment and traditional techniques where appropriate.
Visual assessment of chimney structure, flue lining, and ventilation systems to identify any maintenance needs or safety concerns.
