Things are busying up here…
Sweep season has landed!
The most wonderful time of the year!( a quote from the accountant there)

Have a look at your CO alarm before booking your sweep…
I’ll have some in the van but I appear to be going through quite a few this week!

It’s ’Chimney Sweeps Day’ today! St Florian is our patron Saint.
We’re offering servicing and sweeping this week at 2025 prices during May…. Hope to see you this month.

Here at Hot Rods Chimney Sweep, we like to offer new products to our customers…
Great way to disguise that ‘flue smell’ you sometimes get through the summer months…

This just came up in my feed from several years ago…
The caption was…. Spot the chimney sweep 😂

Hope you’re all having a Great Xmas…
I’m gearing up for 2026 but would like to share two photos taken about 11 years apart.
My son and I had a great day down at Beamish this week and thought we would re enact an install I did years ago…
It’s in the bakery, both are maturing well.
Happy New Year to you all! Xx

The chap on the right says that there is nothing wrong with his flue and declined my pricing to sort out his dangerous install.
Have a look at the one on the left.
For any solid fuel,and if you have a bird guard, it has to be at least a 1” square section( check out the beautiful fit on the left)….
Do you see the difference??
This chap will either have a massive chimney fire or probably suffer from carbon monoxide poisoning quite soon.
Sadly, he hired a non registered sweep, no certification was given and absolutely no come back regarding the chaps issues.
This flue was swept recently but the cowl was never swept?
There is a reason why we always recommend what we recommend….
It keeps out public liability Insurance to a minimum too!

If you know where I live, this event will happen adjacent to my house. I look forward to the chimney fire…. It will be spectacular!
I reckon at least 7 course of brick will vacate the building..

On the brighter side, still got a few days left before Santa comes if you need me..
And remember,
I’m delicious… 😉😘

In the quieter times, I fit stoves and these two fits were completed this week.
We reconfigured two old ranges keeping the original features but adapted them to take eco friendly stoves.
Great conversions for everyday modern living.
Quirky too!
