Fireplace and Stove Cleaning Services
Whether you have a wood burning stove, a multi-fuel stove, a gas fire or an open fireplace, a professional clean each year is one of the best things you can do to protect your appliance, your home and the people in it.
Soot, tar deposits and also ash build up inside the stove and flue. In a wood burner this will reduce its efficiency and increase the risk of a chimney fire. In a gas fire the accumulated debris can block the burner and also leave carbon monoxide to go undetected.
At Centreline Fires, our stove cleaning services are carried out by HETAS-certified engineers for solid fuel appliances, and Gas Safe registered engineers for gas stoves and gas fires. We have been servicing stoves and fireplaces across the Wirral and North West for over 30 years.
Signs Your Stove or Fireplace Needs a Clean
Most stoves and fireplaces should be cleaned at least once a year. But there are times when you should not wait for your annual appointment, especially if you notice any of these:
- Your stove glass looks black after lighting: this usually means that the stove is burning wet wood or the air wash system is restricted by a dirty baffle
- Smoke enters the room when you open the door or first light it: this can mean anything from a blocked flue to a damaged rope seal or draw issue.
- Your fire’s taking longer to get going or is struggling to reach a temperature, even with dry wood: a dirty or degraded baffle plate usually causes this.
- A strong, bitter smell coming from the stove: this can mean tar is baking onto surfaces and starting to break down.
- You’ve just moved into your house and it has a stove or fireplace: always get it inspected and cleaned before using it.
Wood Burning Stove Cleaning Service
A thorough internal clean of the firebox, ash pan, baffle plate, flue connection and stove glass, as well as a full safety check. Recommended at least once a year or before and after the main burning season if you use it a lot.
Gas Stove Maintenance
Annual gas stove maintenance carried out by HETAS engineers. We check the burner, injectors, thermocouple and all seals, clean the appliance inside out and test the gas pressure and safety shut offs before sign off. Required annually if you want to keep your warranty valid.
Gas Fire Cleaning Service
Whether you have a gas fire set into a fireplace or a freestanding gas fire, our gas team carries out a full gas fire cleaning service, including burner and pilot inspection.
Fireplace Cleaning Service
Our fireplace cleaning service covers the complete hearth area, which includes:
- the firebox surround
- throat and smoke chamber
- gathering plate
If you use an open fire, then this is essential annual maintenance. We will also advise if you need a professional chimney sweep alongside a fireplace clean.
