Chimney Sweeping Wirral
If you neglect your chimney, soot can build up inside the flue every time you use your open fire, woodburner or stove. If you leave this unchecked, this can become highly flammable.
A professional chimney sweep service removes the buildup, restores the proper airflow you need for a functioning fire appliance to draw and burn cleanly and safely. A chimney cleaning also reduces the risk of carbon monoxide, which is a gas that has no colour and odour and can be very dangerous.
At Centreline Fires, our chimney sweep services are carried out by HETAS certified engineers, offering thorough flue inspections, flue cleaning services, and testing your appliance to make sure it works safely before they leave.
Benefits Of Our Chimney Sweeping Services in Wirral
A chimney sweep is needed at least once a year to keep your warranty and insurance valid.
- Soot buildups can be highly flammable, so a chimney cleaning and flue cleaning service removes that risk before it becomes a serious problem.
- A clean flue draws air correctly, making your fire more efficient and you spend less on fuel.
- Blocked flues can redirect carbon monoxide into the room, which is very dangerous. Our safety checks always include carbon monoxide testing.
What’s Included in Our Chimney Sweeping Service
Every chimney sweeping appointment we do includes a full professional clean and inspection.
- Full flue and chimney inspection: top to bottom assessment of your chimney, flue liner and stack to identify any cracks or blockages, bird nests or any structural issues you need to know about.
- Soot and creosote removal: this is carried out through professional brushing and vacuum extraction.
- Draw and airflow testing: We test that your chimney draws correctly and that air circulation is safe and sufficient for your specific fire appliance.
- Carbon monoxide testing: We carry out a safety check to ensure there is no risk of carbon monoxide being drawn back into your home through a blocked flue.
- Rope and seal check: If you’ve got a log burner or stove, we take a close look at the door rope seals to make sure no smoke or gases are coming into the room when you use it.
- Chimney sweep certificate: You’ll get a chimney sweep certificate should you need to provide proof of annual maintenance to your insurance.
- Full report: If we spot anything, you’ll get a clear report so you know exactly what you need to do and why.
Signs It’s Time for a Chimney Sweep
You should have your chimney sweeping done once a year. Twice is also not unheard of if you use it alot and heavily. Things to look out for would be smoke is entering the room when you use your stove, there’s a build up of soot around the fireplace, or you have a musty smell in the room. That can mean moisture or a tar buiukl up in the flue.
Also, if you are hearing any rattling or scraping noises from the chimney, it’s worth getting an engineer out for inspection. It could be a birds nest, or it could be loose debris and a damaged liner.
If you have just moved into a home with a stove and want to use it, a professional chimney sweep and a full flue cleaning service is always recommended before using it for the frst time.
