The cleaning work from cap screen to firebox

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.

When earlier advice differs from ours

You may have been told something different by someone who looked at the chimney before. That happens, and it is worth talking through. Conditions change, and different visits can see different parts.

Show us the earlier findings if you have them. We explain what we saw, where we could see it and why our view may differ. The aim is to give you enough to decide, not to argue with another opinion. If the difference affects safe use, we say which parts we are confident about and which need a closer look.

Fireplace cleaning versus chimney cleaning

People use fireplace cleaning and chimney cleaning to mean different things. On our estimate, the fireplace side covers the firebox, the grate area, the throat and the hearth. The chimney side covers the smoke chamber, the smoke shelf, the flue and the cap screen.

Most visits include both, but you can ask for one without the other. Tell us what you had in mind when you called. The written scope then uses the same words, so there is no confusion afterward about what was cleaned.

Smoke at the opening as a fire starts

A puff of smoke into the room while a fire is catching has several possible causes. A cold flue, a half-open damper or a restricted throat can each do it. Heavy soot at the throat and on the damper frame makes it worse.

The cleaning clears that area and we check the damper opens all the way. If smoke still spills at the start of each fire, we talk through what else could cause it. Some causes are about how the fire is lit, and some are about the fireplace itself.

Common chimney sweeping questions

Can you clean a fireplace that has an insert in it?

Usually, yes. The insert's manual decides whether we clean through it, remove a baffle or slide it forward. Tell us the make and model when you book so we can plan the route and include any removal step in the estimate.

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.
