The chimney is responsible for not only allowing a safe passage out of the house from the products of combustion, but the draft generated by the chimney also supplies the combustion air to the appliance. Modern wood stoves or gas fireplaces require a correctly sized flue to perform properly and, most importantly, safely!

The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps recommends that chimneys used in conjunction with wood fuel or wood stoves should be swept quarterly when in full use.

It is also recommended you have your fire swept once before you regularly start having fires again (after the summer for example). Then, once again half way through the burning season.

For occasional evening and weekend use, once a year is enough.

TJS Installations recommend StoveCareUK Ltd for all of your maintenance and care of your woodburning stove.

You are putting yourself and others at risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning if you don’t clean your chimney as advised. Soot, creosote and tar can prevent fumes from escaping your chimney and can then ignite under heat.

Chimney flue liners last on average 15 to 20 years. It is advisable to get the entire liner replaced soon after that time frame to make sure it is still code compliant and not a serious fire risk. However, regular maintenance of your chimney flue by a chimney sweep means you can be regularly advised of the condition of your installation.

For building new chimneys, building control approval is necessary. This can also be the case when relining old chimneys or changing a heating appliance. Call us on 01604 402916 for more information.
