Call a chimney sweep not a firefighter
Before you light your fire for the first time this year, it’s vital you make sure it’s in good working order and fit for the winter or you could be putting your family and home at risk. One of the main causes of chimney fires is not having your chimney swept regularly. Dirty chimneys can cause fires which damage structures, destroy homes and injure or kill people.
Do you use an open fire, wood or log burning stove, Aga or other ‘real flame’ appliance in your home?
The chimney is essentially a household exhaust pipe - funnelling away soot, smoke, gases, hot ashes and sparks - sweeping should be an essential part of home maintenance. This will help protect against blockages, smoke leaks, inadequate ventilation, insufficient draw, down-draught and tar build-up.
