THERE FOR YOU
Combe Chimney Sweeps cover Combe Martin, Ilfracombe, Woolacombe, Barnstaple, Lynton, Lynmouth, South Molton and all surrounding villages.
In order to best serve you, My customers, I take great care with my service, right down from booking the job, up until the chimney sweep itself. Excellent aftercare and valuable information is all at hand from my service too.
WHY DO YOU NEED ME?
Chimneys need to allow the free passage of dangerous combustion gases. Regular sweeping will remove soot, birds nests, cobwebs and any other blockages. It also removes creosote which will help to prevent dangerous chimney fires. Chimney sweeping will also increase the efficiency of some appliances.
HOW TO AVOID
Use seasoned wood only (dryness is the important factor) less than 20% moisture.
Build smaller, hotter fires that burn more completely and produce less smoke.
Have the chimney cleaned regularly.
Use the correct fuels for your appliance and flue type. (If unsure check your manufactures instructions or ask your stove supplier).
WHEN?
Frequency will depend on a number of factors which include the type of fuel used, appliance type, duration of use, moisture content of wood fuel, the type of chimney and liner. Sweeping frequencies below are for guidance only –
Smokeless fuel – at least once a year
Wood – quarterly
Gas – once a year
Oil – once a year
Bituminous coal – quarterly
