Your qualified and dedicated Chimney Sweeping & Service provider in Northland
A healthy chimney flue is vital for your safety and the efficient function of your chimney.
​
Creosote is a flammable and corrosive material that can build up over time on the walls of your firebox and flue system. In it's worst form it is a gooey, bad smelling, corrosive and combustible material. It happens when unburned wood particles, ash and other gases mix as they exit the flue system.  Ongoing burning of unseasoned firewood/fuel and incorrect operation of the appliance on a low burn setting will promote creosote build-up.  If this is not cleared it will create blockages or a chimney fire.
 
Creosote/Soot build up occurs quicker than you may expect and when this is left untreated can cause chimney fires as well as carbon monoxide build up in your home.
​
The safety inspection of your open fireplace or firebox and flues is the most important part. This is to ensure everything is in a safe working condition and is done as part of the chimney sweep.   Our service offers a chimney sweep and/or safety inspection and if any repairs are needed them we will give you a quote.
 
We absolutely recommend an annual chimney/fireplace inspection and sweep/service for your own safety and to meet your house insurance requirements.

SOME NOTES ABOUT YOUR SWEEP/SERVICE VISIT
​
  • You can use your fireplace/firebox the night before your sweep/service - as long as the damper is left fully open at bedtime.
  • Please arrange for someone to be home as we need access to the inside of your fireplace.
  • It is safer for us to sweep your firebox/chimney internally (from firebox to chimney top) but in some circumstances we need to do this from the rooftop (we will advise once on site).  Please read our Health & Safety Regulations
  • This is then followed by a thorough inspection to check that your fireplace/firebox and chimney are efficient and safe to use.
  • If we come up on anything that may require repairs we may be able to complete the repairs on the spot (after your approval and if we have necessary tools/supplies on hand) or a  second visit may be necessary if we have to order particular parts.
  • We pride our self to complete our work in a careful and extremely clean manner.​
