Understanding Chimney Cleaning Services
My aim is to offer more than just a standard chimney sweep service. I work hard to keep your chimney efficient and safe all year. Below is a breakdown of how the steps I would take when sweeping your chimney.
Visual Chimney Inspection
Before I begin sweeping in your chimney, I carry out a range of comprehensive visual checks to the chimney flue and pot. This helps me evaluate the overall condition of your chimney, pinpointing any potential issues such as cracks, blockages, wear and tear, or water damage. By identifying these issues early, we can take proactive measure to potentially avoid expensive repairs down the line.
Cleaning Methods
Being a member of the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps means I adhere to a strict code of practice. I use a combination of traditional and power-sweeping techniques to ensure I achieve a more comprehensive clean. It’s not just about removing soot; its about preserving the efficiency and safety of your chimney.
Creosote and Tar Removal
When you burn wood or coal in your chimney, creosote and tar are both produced as by-products. Over time, this build up can become a serious fire hazard if it is not addressed and taken care of.
