Central Scotland Chimney Sweeping Service

We provide  professional chimney sweeps service all over Central Scotland.  A working chimney needs to be swept at least once each year. This is because every time you burn a fire, soot will build up in the chimney. Too much soot poses a fire risk and will restrict dangerous gasses from escaping freely, leading to fumes spilling into your living room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chimneys need to be swept because they can catch fire if they’re not maintained. A layer of soot and ash builds up inside the chimney over time, and if it isn’t removed, it could lead to a dangerous chimney fire.

The sweeping frequencies below are for guidance. The frequency will depend on a number of factors including: Type of fuel, appliance used, frequency and duration of use, moisture content of wood fuel, type of chimney. We will be able to advise on what’s best for you during their visit.

  • Smokeless fuel: At least once a year
  • Wood: Quarterly when in use
  • Bituminous coal: Quarterly when in use.
  • Oil: Once a year
  • Gas: Once a year

In general, we will need a clear passage from your door to the fire and adequate space to work in. Clear any ornaments from the hearth and perhaps from the mantelpiece. In particular, clear the grate of any fuel / ash / rubbish. Pets should be kept secure during the visit. Please ensure your appliance is unlit and cold.

Great question, the answer is, no.  We use Industry standard techniques to contain soot, along with a HEPA rated vac, clean dust sheets, a rare occasion would be to clear a blocked chimney, you will always be consulted prior blockage removal.

We are trained to a high standard and must complete mandatory refresher training assessments on solid fuel, heating systems and Approved Document J Building regulations.  

 Another great question, Yes!  Burning wood that is too wet is a waste of money/time. It can also cause a major fire risk by quickly tarring up your flue.
