With Chimney Fire Safety Week coming to an end, here’s a quick summary of the key messages and information to prevent chimney fires.
- Always use a professional, registered chimney sweep to carry out any work. You can find one here or call us to book!
- Get your chimney swept regularly, but at least once a year to remove soot build-up, and ensure it’s safe and efficient
- Get your appliance serviced regularly – it’s no good having a clean chimney if your wood-burner is unsafe!
- Use the right fuel – make sure the wood is well-seasoned hardwood and a recommended fuel for your stove
- Don’t store logs by the fire. It’s tempting to help dry the wood and looks great but can easily cause a fire!
We’re here to provide advice and information as well as chimney sweeps, inspections, appliance servicing and more. Contact us now!
