fireplace repairs

We have restored and engineered repairs to many woodburners over the years! Repairs can include anything from rust removal, fixing broken pieces of cast iron to repairing cracks in the fireplace insert

chimneys swept in 5 precise steps

Most single-flue sweeps take around 45 minutes. A blocked flue or a bird’s nest will take longer, and we’d rather do the job properly than watch the clock. Here’s exactly what happens when we come out.

preparation

We sheet up, then open the stove and take out the baffle plate and any firebricks so we’ve got clean access to the flue.

inspection

We use a torch and mirror to inspect the flue even before a brush goes up, and keep an eye out for twigs that suggest a nest higher up.

soot & dust prevention

We control dust using our specialist H-Class vacuum, the highest dust rating there is. Worth having, because soot is messy and can be dangerous. Debris is bagged and taken away.

the sweep

Bottom to top, with rods run as one continuous length from fireplace to pot, so the whole flue is brushed. We vacuum all the debris away, then go through any feedback with you.

Sweep Safe certificate

Issued before we leave, recording the condition of the appliance, flue and stack. Keep it safe — many insurers expect proof of a professional sweep, and a chimney fire claim can be refused without it.
