Before :    Once you have booked your sweep you can relax. You will get a courtesy message the day before, reminding you of the time we expect to be with you; plus a small amount of pre-arrival information.

On the day :    Upon arrival, a pathway of protective sheets will be laid from the door to the fireplace, and any furniture in close proximity will be covered. A visual inspection of the chimney stack & terminal, and fireplace will be undertaken to ensure it is safe to proceed. The stove / grate will then be cleaned, dismantled & put aside. The opening will be sealed up and the appropriate brush and length of rods fed up the length of the chimney until the brush visibly extends beyond the pot, or is within the cowl. This ensures the full length of the flue is swept. The rods & brush are then pulled and pushed whilst been rotated to remove any deposits from within the flue. Once all rods have been brought back down, any deposits are inspected for tell tale signs of potential issues before been vacuumed into the industrial vacuum. The stove / grate is then carefully re-assembled before a smoke pellet is lit within the firebox to perform a smoke evacuation check, ensuring draw is suffient and that smoke is leaving the chimney pot and/or cowl as it should be. Once satisfied, a NACS certificate is completed, with a copy issued to the occupier.

After:    You can sit back, relax and enjoy your fire, in the knowledge that it has been professionally swept and is safe to use. The certificate issued generally lasts for 12 months, so we'll send out a reminder prior to it expring, advising your annual sweep is due. However, if you do have any questions or queries regarding your sweep or anything else related, please get in touch and we'll discuss and remedy your concerns.
