Chimney Sweeping & Servicing

We are a fully HETAS Registered and HETAS Insured stove installation company and members of the National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS). Our company offers all aspects of stove and open fire chimney sweeping and maintenance in line with NACS standards. We cover Dundee, Perthshire, Angus, Fife and the surrounding areas.

Regular chimney sweeping is of paramount importance. All flues should be swept and stoves thoroughly cleaned and serviced as per the manufacturers guidelines. However, depending on how often you use your stove and the type of fuel you are burning, sweeping and/or servicing may be required more frequently. 

Manufacturers warranties are only valid if a competent person carries out the sweeping and servicing at the correct intervals. Moreover, a growing number of insurance companies will require documented proof that the correct maintenance has been carried out. We can provide appropriate documentation with every chimney sweep and service carried out which details all of the work undertaken.

Chimney sweeping is essential to maintain the safe and efficient operation of your appliance or open fire. Due to the nature of the combustion process, deposits of soot and creosote can accumulate in the flue. This not only reduces it’s effectiveness and efficiency but more importantly compromises the safe operation and can potentially lead to a chimney fire.

Stove servicing involves a thorough inspection of the appliance body and its controls. We ensure your appliance is operating both safely and efficiently by carrying out various operational tests. Any issues that can be corrected at the time regarding consumable items are included in the price such as the replacement of heat resistant silicone and fire cement and the re-gluing of rope seals.

During both the chimney sweep and stove servicing process we will check that appliance data plates are correctly sited with the appropriate information recorded and that Carbon Monoxide alarms are present and fully operational. Carbon monoxide alarms should also be present for open fires. 

We also provide CCTV inspections of chimneys and flues using state of the art camera recording equipment designed specifically for this purpose. Please enquire for more details.

All inspections are conducted to the standards set by the National Association of Chimney Sweeps, Building Regulations and stove/flue manufacturers guidelines.

N.B There is a possibility that if a stove is utilising an unlined chimney and there is no suitable access to carry out the sweep safely and remove debris then it may not be possible to conduct the sweep. Suitable access is by means of sweeping and cleaning through a register plate hatch above the stove or utilising access through a soot door. We do not dismantle stoves or flues to conduct chimney sweeps. If a stove or flue has to be dismantled to carry out a sweep then it is regarded as an unserviceable/unsafe installation and will be condemned accordingly. If a chimney cannot be safely swept we ask that a call out fee of £40.00 is paid to cover any fuel and time.
