Solid fuel burning is becoming more popular due to soaring costs of other fuels, so chimney sweeps need to provide an expert chimney sweeping and cleaning service to customers who own appliances that burn fuel, such as:

A chimney sweep has to take on roles and jobs that are generally ignored by official heating and ventilation bodies.

Smokeless Fuels and Chimneys

Many people are under the impression that if they are burning smokeless fuel that they don't need the services of a chimney sweep, but that is dangerously wrong.

All fuels, solid, gas, LPG and oil, venting conventionally to the outside must have their chimneys swept to confirm the flue ways are clear to avoid CO poisoning and possible chimney fires.

Chimney Testing

Carbon Monoxide Poisoning from Blocked Chimneys

Deaths related to carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning need to be taken into account. The UK is a front runner in such deaths and accidental CO poisoning due to lack of regulations relating to chimneys and appliances that burn fuel.

What's more ... several years ago whilst sitting my HETAS exams I remember being astonished when the lecturer said that in the previous twelve months he had helped coroners compile reports associated with thirteen separate carbon monoxide deaths as a result of wrong solid fuel appliance maintenance.

And... he served just the Midlands region! ... More about carbon monoxide poisoning ...

But chimney sweeping and maintenance is being taken seriously by home insurance companies.

A growing number of insurance companies are including clauses about real open fires or stoves in the small print of policies. These clauses invalidate the insurance liability if the chimney or flue has not been swept and a chimney fire later on causes damage or a claim is made.

For this reason it is clearly important to use the service of a qualified and registered chimney sweep who will issue a valid certificate which can be presented to the insurance company in the case of a claim for any kind of damage.

Opening up an old chimney - testing for safety

You may be wanting to open up an old fireplace.

If you have moved house to a home with a fireplace you want to use, please have your chimney checked before you use it.

Also if there are fireplaces and chimneys that have previously been blocked up, and you want to re-instate them, you are strongly advised to have the chimneys checked to see that it is safe to use for the purpose you have in mind.

Old chimneys in tenement flats may have been capped or have spider's webs or birds nesting in them. Building rubble lodged in the chimney from roof work or building work done on other flats at higher levels is a common occurrence.

Here at Ablesweep our main aim is the safety of our customers and that we create no mess and no fuss when we clean your chimney.

We have many happy customers.

Here is one Testimonial:

Dear Simon

My friend suggested I call Simon of Ablesweep. Although we regularly have our chimney swept we were under the impression it was normal for there to be soot everywhere afterwards. A revelation; no dust! My wife is delighted since we don't have to spend hours cleaning. I am looking forward to Simon sweeping our chimney in the Spring.
Regards
