How often do I need my chimney swept?
This depends on how often you use your fire and what you burn. A general guideline is:
- For occasional evening and weekend use, once a year is enough.
- For more frequent use, especially if you burn a lot of wood, you should have your chimney swept once before you start having fires, usually in the autumn and then once again half way through the burning season, about January.
