Creosote can build up inside your chimney and cause the chimney to become blocked or cause a chimney fire. You can reduce the amount of creosote build up by only using clean, dry and seasoned firewood. Firewood which is still green or wet will increase this build up inside your flue. Additionally, chimneys can become blocked by nesting birds over the summer months when the fireplace is not in use.
Generally speaking, most insurance companies will not cover chimney fires if the chimney has not been cleaned and inspected within the last 12 months.
It is best to have your cleaned and inspected annually. Autumn is our busiest time of year for chimney sweeps, so if you are a new client it would be wise to get booked in towards the end of summer.
