Why do I need my Chimney Swept?
Chimneys must allow the safe passage of combustion gases. Regular cleaning removes soot and creosote, reducing the risk of chimney fires. Cleaning also enhances the efficiency of certain appliances by removing bird nests, cobwebs and other blockages. Your chimney needs annual sweeping to maintain insurance compliance.
How often should I have my Chimney Swept?
It’s recommended to have your chimney swept at least once a year to prevent soot buildup and reduce the risk of chimney fires. If you use your fireplace frequently, consider a sweep every 6 months. At Sweep Smart, we provide professional chimney sweeping services to keep your home safe and efficient.
What are the signs my Chimney needs sweeping?
Watch for these warning signs:
✅ Smoke backing up into your room
✅ A strong, sooty smell even when the fireplace isn’t in use
✅ Slow-burning or struggling fires
✅ Black, tar-like creosote buildup
​If you notice any of these, contact Sweep Smart for a professional chimney sweep.
Do I need my chimney sweeping if I have a log burner?
Yes! Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves also produce soot and creosote buildup, which can be hazardous. Regular chimney sweeping ensures better efficiency, cleaner air, and reduced fire risk. Contact Sweep Smart for expert wood burner chimney cleaning.
