There’s nothing more relaxing than sitting by a crackling fire in the colder months, but at Soot and Bristle we are passionate about safety and making sure our customers have a Fully Swept and maintained chimney for maximum efficiency and safe burning.
Did you know?
Chimneys of working fires should be swept at least once a year.
Many home and landlord insurers will require a HETAS recognised Chimney Sweep to service your working chimney at least once a year.
There are over 5000 chimney fires each year in the UK. Not only is a chimney fire extremely scary to witness, but chimney fires can cause serious damage to your property.
Having your chimney swept at least once a year significantly reduces the risk of a chimney fire.
Burning wood with a moisture content below 20% not only reduces the amount of build up in your chimney / flue, but it will also significantly reduce the chances of a chimney fire.
NACS Chimney Sweeps are trained to inspect your appliance for damage and compliance to give you peace of mind when lighting your fire.
