Chimney Sweeping in West Yorkshire

Winter is here, and as the weather gets colder and more miserable, you’ll no doubt be looking forward to some cosy nights in, in front of a roaring fire. But with fire and rescue services all over the country warning us to stay safe with open fires this winter, it’s essential you check your chimney is clean, safe and professionally swept, ready for the bad weather.

A chimney fire can have disastrous effects – not only is it massively dangerous and could cause a serious fire endangering the lives of your family and neighbours, but, even if it’s not as severe as that, it can still cause structural damage to your house and ruin your home, furniture and belongings with soot and smoke damage.

The biggest cause of chimney fires is a build-up of soot, creosote and debris that ignite when you light the fire, so it’s essential you keep them clean – not only to avoid fires, but to allow the free passage of the toxic combustion gasses that also result from an oven fire.

Chimney Sweeping & Camera Inspection

So, make sure you contact a professional chimney sweep to clean out your chimney, preferably before it turns cold and you begin to rely on it for heating. You should have any fireplace swept at least once a year but, depending on the type of fire you have and the type of fuel you burn, it could be more often:

  • Smokeless coals – at least once a year
  • Wood – up to four times a year
  • Bituminous coal – twice a year
  • Oil – once a year
  • Gas – once a year

**Please note that a HETAS certificate of compliance is required for chimney sweeping. See below.
