How often

Sweeping Frequency Guide

How often you should have your chimney swept depends on how much you use it and what you burn.

Wood

Wood Burning Stoves

Sweep at least once per year — ideally at the end of winter before the stove is put to rest. Heavy users should sweep twice yearly.

Minimum: Once per year
Coal

Solid Fuel / Coal

Coal and smokeless fuels produce more deposits than wood. We recommend sweeping twice per year if you burn coal regularly.

Recommended: Twice per year
Gas

Gas Fires

Gas fires should be swept annually too. While they produce fewer deposits, they can still develop blockages from debris and bird nests.

Minimum: Once per year

Andy ticked all the boxes when he came to sweep our chimney! Friendly, efficient and most importantly — no mess. He didn't leave a trace of soot. Highly recommended!

"

Had the chimney swept before lighting for the first time this winter. Very professional — arrived on time, left no mess and issued the certificate straight away. Brilliant service.

"

Found a bird nest blocking the flue — could have been a serious issue. Watmore's removed it the same week and fitted a bird guard. Couldn't recommend them enough.

"

We've used Watmore's every year for the past four years. Always reliable, always on time and the certificate is essential for our insurance. Couldn't ask for more.
