Keeping your chimney clean is one of the simplest – and most important – steps to keeping your home safe and your stove working efficiently. We always recommend sweeping your chimney before the new season starts.
Why It Matters
– Better performance: A clean flue draws properly, making your fire easier to light.
– Safer burn: Removing creosote build-up reduces the risk of chimney fires.
– Health protection: Proper airflow prevents smoke and harmful gases from staying in your home.
When to Get Your Chimney Swept
At least once a year is best – and we suggest doing it every autumn, so you’re ready for that first fire of the season.
