Chimney Sweeps & Services for Wood Heaters

Every winter, many of us rely on our wood heaters to help keep our homes warm and cosy. But did you know that neglecting to clean your flue or chimney at least once a year could lead to a host of problems, including backdrafts, smouldering, reduced heat output, poor fireplace performance, and even flue fires?

To avoid these issues, it is essential to clean your chimney/flue yearly on a regular basis.

If you don’t clean your chimney/flue regularly, creosote build-up can cause irreparable damage, not to mention reduced heat output & poor fireplace performance making it less efficient.

When creosote is combined with soot, a flammable coating can form inside the flue, which can result in a chimney fire.

The best time to service your wood heater is during spring or early summer.  

Make it a habit to look outside and check your flue for smoke.  If it is smoking excessively, you are wasting fuel and heat and may be causing unnecessary emissions.  Increasing the air supply to the fire will help avoid a lot of smoke.

During your chimney/flue clean, we also check over the condition of your wood heater, flue, door seals, baffles, firebricks etc as well as checking for bird nests/possum activity etc in or near the flue system in the roof cavity. ^^

For new client bookings, please complete the enquiry form & include a couple of photos of  your fireplace (from further back in the room) and of your chimney/flue from the garden.  This helps us understand what equipment we need & the timeframe in order to assist you better.

*  Bookings outside of Spring/Summer may not be able to be fulfilled due to it being our peak installation period

^^ replacement of parts & labour to repair are additional costs
