Regular sweeping is very important
Chimney fires have been steadily decreasing in most regions over the years, despite recent popularity surges in wood and smokeless fuels for home heating. The total number of chimney fires which occurred in England during 2025-26 is 1,665 (approximately 0.98% of total fires), with incidents peaking January – March. Statistics show that 42% of chimney fires in England take place over these three months, coinciding with the period where people will be using their stoves the most to keep their homes warm. It’s as important as ever that we raise awareness across the UK to further reduce annual incidents, recommending best practices and regular maintenance. << source HETAS.co.uk 2026
