If you haven’t already, this is your reminder to book a professional chimney sweep and inspection!
With the colder months ahead and energy bills rising, more people may be using their fireplaces and wood burners. Make sure you and your loved ones stay safe this winter and get your chimney swept.
Remember:
if you burn logs, you should have your chimney swept at least twice a year
if you burn coal, you should have your chimney swept at least once a year
Our top chimney safety tips for autumn and winter:
