Top Tips for a Healthy Chimney

Clean Regularly

Whether you burn oil, gas, wood, coal or biomass, your chimney needs regular cleaning in order to burn efficiently and economically. It is crucial to avoid the build up of soot and creosote, seen here in the photos, that can cause a dangerous and costly chimney fires and lethal carbon monoxide poisoning.

Burn Carefully

Make sure that you are burning seasoned wood, that has dried out for a minimum of one year and note that different types of trees take even longer to dry out. Wood that has a high moisture content and cheap smokeless coal will release soot and creosote that can corrode your chimney and flue lining.

Use Properly

Refresh your memory on how to use your burner/ appliance. Modern logburners are different to older ones so make sure you are getting the most heat out of your fuel and not wasting it or adding to air pollution.
Most manuals can be found online if you have lost yours. Our r ecommended kit.

Summer Update

It's Summer and you may have birds nesting in your chimney. You should not use your fire whilst the birds are nesting as this could lead to carbon monoxide poisoning or a chimney fire. When the chicks have fledged and left the nest it will be time to have a cowl fitted and the chimney swept to remove the birds nest.

You should have now finished using your logburner until September/ October so now is the best time to have it swept and checked over for any maintenance issues such as cracked firebricks, worn rope seals and damaged ceramic glass. Find out where we are sweeping next week
