Recognising Problems - doing something about them, calling on the services of a Chimney Sweep
- Smoke entering the room may indicate a blockage.Your Chimney Sweep professional can conduct a draft test
- Bird dropping, twigs or other debris in the heath? This could be an indicator of nesting, restricting the chimney and posing a fire hazard.
- Consider investing in a good cowling to prevent bird entry to the chimney.
- A heavy smell from the chimney? Are you using the approved fuel in your stove or boiler? Fuels such as poorly seasoned logs can cause an accumulation of soot and tar.
- Left the chimney unused for a long spell of time? Unbelievably spiders webs, especially along with leaves and the like can restrict the chimney drought and present a fire hazard.
These are all good reasons for having your chimney regularly inspected and swept.
