🔥 Is Your Chimney Ready for the Next Burn? 🔥

Regular chimney sweeping and stove servicing are essential for keeping your home safe, efficient, and warm throughout the year.

According to HETAS, chimneys burning wood should be swept at least twice a year, while chimneys burning smokeless fuels should be swept at least once a year. Regular sweeping helps remove soot, creosote, bird nests, and other blockages that can increase the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide issues. HETAS also recommends having your stove professionally serviced annually to ensure it continues to operate safely and efficiently. (hetas.co.uk)

Signs your chimney or stove may need attention include:
✅ Poor burning performance
✅ Smoke entering the room
✅ Excessive soot deposits
✅ Unpleasant smells from the stove or fireplace
✅ Damaged rope seals, firebricks, or stove components

At Bumby Sweeps & Stoves, we provide professional chimney sweeping and stove servicing to help keep your appliance running safely and at its best.

Whether you're preparing for the heating season or haven't had your chimney checked for a while, now is the perfect time to book.

12 bags of birds nest, 3 1/2 hours later…. Chris had to remove all of this before he could install the Flexi liner for the new stove.
Make sure you have cowls and baskets secure on your chimney to stop those pesky birds nesting.
