What a chimney sweep does
Chimney sweeps clear soot and tar from open fires and stoves, check the flue for blockages and damage, and many also fit stoves, liners and cowls. A sweep a year is what most insurers and stove manufacturers expect, and in Moseley you should ask for a certificate after each sweep, which is the proof you need if there is ever a chimney fire.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
At least once a year for a stove or open fire burning seasoned wood or smokeless fuel, and more often if you burn a lot or burn unseasoned wood, which builds up tar. Sweep before the heating season starts.
Do I need a HETAS installer for a stove?
In England and Wales a stove installation is notifiable under Building Regulations. A HETAS registered installer can self certify; otherwise you need building control. Ask for the certificate when the job is done.
Why does smoke come back into the room?
A blocked or partly blocked flue, a cold chimney, a lack of air in the room or a downdraught from the wind. A sweep clears the first, and can advise on a cowl or a vent for the others.

What should I check before I hire a chimney sweep?
