How do I know if my chimney needs sweeping?
You should get your chimney swept if you have:
- Specks of soot dropping into the fireplace
- Tar deposits visible in the chimney or stove
- A strong odour coming from the fireplace.
- Draughting or smoking problems with the chimney.
- Just moved home and want to use the chimney.
- Animals nesting (squirrels or birds) as this can cause fire hazards.
