Chimney Sweeping

Thorough removal of soot, creosote, and debris from chimneys ensures safe ventilation of combustion gases. Regular maintenance prevents chimney fires and improves appliance efficiency. Our certified sweeps use HEPA-filter vacuums to contain dust, providing a mess-free service for domestic and commercial properties.

Stove Installation

Professional installation of Hetas-approved stoves and liners guarantees compliance with safety regulations. We offer bespoke fireplace builds and smoke diagnostics to ensure optimal performance. All installations include certification for insurance and warranty purposes.

Bird Nest Removal

Safe extraction of nests and installation of bird guards prevent future infestations. Our technicians address smoke leakage caused by obstructions, restoring proper chimney function while adhering to wildlife protection guidelines.

Smoke Diagnostics

Specialised testing identifies smoke leakage points in chimneys and fireplaces. We resolve issues causing dangerous indoor air quality, including sealing gaps and recommending ventilation solutions for closed-off chimneys.

Carbon Monoxide Alarms

Supply and installation of certified CO alarms provide early warning against gas leaks. This service complements regular chimney maintenance, ensuring comprehensive protection for households using combustion appliances.

Questions

Why is regular chimney sweeping necessary?

Regular sweeping removes soot and creosote buildup, preventing chimney fires and ensuring safe venting of combustion gases. It improves appliance efficiency and meets insurance requirements.

How often should chimneys be swept?

Frequency depends on fuel type: smokeless fuel (yearly), wood/bituminous coal (quarterly), gas/oil (yearly). We'll advise optimal schedules during visits.

What are the benefits of using a Guild-registered sweep?

Guild members undergo rigorous training and assessments, carry full insurance, and use industry-approved equipment. They provide reliable service with access to professional support networks.

Do gas/oil flues require cleaning?

Yes. While soot-free, these flues can develop blockages or corrosion. Sweeping identifies issues affecting performance and safety, often before annual servicing.

Can chimney issues cause indoor smoke problems?

Yes. Smoke leakage indicates blockages or structural defects. We diagnose causes like nesting birds or damaged liners and implement solutions to restore safe operation.

Is preparation required before a sweep visit?

Clear ornaments from hearths, secure pets, and ensure appliances are unlit and cold. Provide clear access to fireplaces for efficient service.

An excellent, professional who is willing to try various methods to solve a problem. We had previously asked another person to sweep our chimney which had a bird's nest stuck in it. He didn't come back to us.
Steve, however, was not put off and tackled the job with skill and a positive attitude. I would recommend him to anyone. Oh, and he's a very friendly person as well. A pleasure doing business with him.

I can recommend Steve (Dr Flue) without any hesitation. He is very proactive and really knows his stuff. I had been told many different things as to my multi-fuel stove by different Installers/Chimney Sweeps. Getting slightly confused I decided to look up the Hetas guidelines and regulations myself. What Steve had told me was spot on. Yesterday evening he came round as scheduled, did all the work and left the place really tidy considering what could potentially be a very messy job. Very courteous and communicates well via text, phone and email.
