Chimney Sweep Services in North Devon and Cornwall
All Chimney Sweeping Enquires Call Toby – 07835 766623
Regular chimney sweeping is essential for keeping your stove, fireplace, or solid fuel appliance running safely and efficiently. At The Fire Works, we offer professional chimney sweep services across North Devon, Exmoor, and North Cornwall, helping homeowners maintain clean and safe flues all year round.
Over time, chimneys can accumulate soot, tar (creosote), debris, and blockages such as bird nests—all of which can affect the performance of your appliance and pose serious safety risks. Regular sweeping helps to prevent chimney fires, improves draw, and ensures harmful gases such as carbon monoxide are safely vented from your home.
Whether you use an open fire, wood burner, multi-fuel stove, or solid fuel cooker, we provide thorough, mess-free chimney sweeping using modern equipment and traditional expertise. We also issue sweeping certificates, which are often required by insurance companies to validate your solid fuel system coverage.
Our chimney sweep service includes:
- Removal of soot, tar, and debris
- Visual inspection of the flue condition
- Smoke draw testing (if required)
- Advice on maintenance, safe use, and future servicing needs
We recommend sweeping your chimney:
- At least once a year for occasional use
- Twice a year for frequent use or where wood/coal is burned regularly
- Before first use if moving into a new property with an existing fireplace or stove
