Wow, a sweep really helps!

I have done a few sweeps this week including one address in Romiley where the new owner was surprised to find almost three bags of soot taken out of a flue that the seller had said had been swept!

When moving into a new house it is always advisable to get the flues swept. At another customer’s address in Marple, a smoke test revealed that the chimney was completely blocked and on further inspection has a slate placed over the chimney pot. Both instances may have had serious implications should a fire have been lit in the fireplaces.

A once a year sweep is an inexpensive way to stay safe and get optimum efficiency from your chimney. A number of customers have been surprised by the difference a sweep makes.
