Chimney Sweeping

Extensive practical experience and intensive training to National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS)standards has ensured that Steve has the necessary skills and experience to undertake work in this important area of home security. All equipment is of professional quality and we aim to offer a clean, tidy and efficient service to standards laid down by the NACS, the UK's premier trade association.

Partially blocked flues and inadequately maintained chimneys can inhibit the through passage of deadly carbon monoxide and other harmful gases, not to mention raising the risk of a chimney fire quite considerably. In France, if you use your chimney, your home insurer will require that you have it swept at least once a year (most professional associations recommend twice when burning wood). This is to ensure that any damage caused by a chimney fire is covered. As we are properly registered for 'ramonage' in France, our receipt will give you the peace of mind to know that you are compliant.

It may also be of interest to know that soot has now been classified as a dangerous carcinogen, occupying the same classification as asbestos. Therefore we only use a specialist hazard vacuum cleaner to clean up after the sweep. This ensures that dangerous particulates are not loosed into the room's atmosphere as they would be if a conventional machine were to be used.
