๐ฅ POOR DRAW? THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE AT THE TOP ๐ฅ
Called out today for a chimney sweep where the fire had been struggling for draw.
The chimney itself was swept through, but the real problem turned out to be the cowl at the top of the chimney, heavily blocked with debris and soot.
A blocked cowl can seriously restrict airflow and stop the chimney drawing properly, which can lead to smoke spilling back into the room and the fire not burning as it should.

Itโs a good reminder that a chimney sweep isnโt just about running brushes up the flue. The whole system needs checking from the appliance right through to the terminal.
