Why do I need my chimney swept?

It is important that your chimney allows free passage of dangerous combustion gasses. Chimneys can easily become blocked with bird's nests, cobwebs and other general debris. The build up of soot in your chimney can be combustible and cause chimney fires if they are not regularly swept. In the case of a chimney fire, many insurance companies will request proof of chimney maintenance. That is why it is important to have your chimney regularly swept by a Guild approved sweep who will issue a certificate.

How often should I get my chimney swept?

This really depends on which fuels you burn, the quality of your fuel, how often you burn and the efficiency of your appliance. The general guidance from most governing bodies is as follows:

Bituminous coal: Quarterly
Wood: Quarterly
Smokeless fuel: Twice a year
Oil: Once a year
Gas: Once a year

We will be able to give you honest professional advice on how often your chimney will need to be swept.
