All work is carried out in accordance with the NACS code of practice, smoke evacuation checks are completed and safety certificates issued, with information regarding the performance of your flue or appliance, and advice on any issues identified, or remedial work required.
We are trained sweeps, having undertaken the induction course with the National Association of Chimney Sweeps, the UK’s premier chimney trade association.
We will make an appointment that is convenient for you by providing a morning or afternoon slot. We will if possible give a likely arrival time nearer the day. We always aim to be punctual, however we will keep you informed of any delays.
First class service! Ian and John from Access Chimneys arrived promptly as promised. They gave a good clear explanation of what they would be doing and the charges. I could not find one piece of debris, soot or dust when they had finished their work. I would thoroughly recommend this company and use them again. Amazing!
Why Do I Need My Chimney Swept?
Burning fossil fuel (Wood, Coal etc.) produces soot, creosote and tar. Some of these substances will cling to the inside of the chimney lining, and over time the flue will become congested or even blocked completely.
This affects the way that your fire or stove performs, producing less heat and allowing smoke to enter the room and it also stops dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide from exiting the flue, presenting a significant and potentially fatal health risk to you and your family.
There is also the risk of a chimney fire when deposits are allowed to build up in the flue. Chimney flues and pots are also popular nesting places for birds and even squirrels, another cause of blockages.
