Sweeping the flue and the parts around it
Let the ashes go cold before cleaning day
Ashes can hold heat long after the flames are gone. Stop using the fireplace ahead of the appointment so the firebox and any buried embers are cold when we arrive. We do not start brushing over warm material, because loosened deposits and hot ash are a poor mix.
Leave the ash where it is if you are unsure whether it has cooled. We collect it as part of the cleaning and carry it out with the rest of the debris. That way nothing warm ends up in a household bin or a paper bag by the door.
A fireplace that is lit only now and then
Occasional fires still leave residue, and a flue that stays cold between uses can hold moisture. Light use does not mean the chimney can be forgotten. Debris and animals can move in during the long gaps.
Tell us roughly when it was last lit and whether anything odd happened, such as smoke at the opening. For a lightly used fireplace, the brushing may be quick while the checks matter more. We explain which of the two took up more of the visit and why.
Access points on a factory-built chimney
Some factory-built chimneys run through a framed enclosure on an outside wall. Listed chimney instructions describe an access door near a tee fitting in that enclosure, used for cleaning. Where one exists, it lets debris be removed from the base of the flue.
Tell us if you have seen a small panel on the enclosure or inside a closet near the fireplace. We open it only as the manual describes and close it as we found it. If no access was provided, cleaning follows the route the manual allows.
Setting the chimney cleaning scope in Aventura
Every chimney is set up differently, so the scope for a sweep in Aventura starts from what we see rather than a standard package. The number of flues, the lining, the access to the top and the kind of deposit all shape it.
We explain each part of the scope before you approve it and list any separate items with their own price. If the job changes once the cleaning starts, we stop and ask. You pay for the work you agreed to, not for guesses.

Questions about soot, flues and sweeping
Does the booking discount cover a chimney cleaning?
Yes. A cleaning approved inside 72 hours of your free inspection gets 10% off. So does any other service booked in the same window. The clock starts at your own inspection.
What if a repair is needed before I can use the fireplace?
We tell you directly and write it on the record. The repair gets its own estimate, and you decide when to go ahead. Until it is done, we suggest keeping the fireplace unused.
Can you tell if the chimney had a fire inside it?
Sometimes the signs are visible, such as puffed deposits, warped metal or cracked tiles. We point them out and explain what a closer look at the lining would involve before any further use.
