A blocked or dirty chimney is one of the leading causes of house fires in the UK. Regular sweeping is essential — not optional.
In the UK alone. Most are caused by a build-up of creosote in unswept chimneys.
Regular sweeping removes creosote build-up, the primary cause of chimney fires.

How often you should have your chimney swept depends on how much you use it and what you burn.
Sweep at least once per year — ideally at the end of winter before the stove is put to rest. Heavy users should sweep twice yearly.
Coal and smokeless fuels produce more deposits than wood. We recommend sweeping twice per year if you burn coal regularly.
Gas fires should be swept annually too. While they produce fewer deposits, they can still develop blockages from debris and bird nests.
