Chimney Sweep Service
At Anglian Stoves, we know that a wood-burning stove or fireplace is more than just a source of warmth – it’s the heart of the home. But to keep your stove running safely, efficiently, and beautifully, regular chimney sweeping is essential.
Our professional chimney sweeping service is designed to protect your home, improve your stove’s performance, and give you complete peace of mind. Serving homes and businesses across Essex and Suffolk, we provide reliable, dust-free cleaning that meets the highest industry standards.
Why Chimney Sweeping Matters
Many homeowners overlook chimney sweeping until something goes wrong. Over time, soot, tar, and creosote naturally build up inside your flue. If left untreated, this build-up can cause:
- Reduced efficiency – A dirty chimney restricts airflow, meaning your stove or fire burns less effectively, wastes fuel, and produces more smoke.
- Higher risk of chimney fires – Creosote deposits are highly flammable and are the leading cause of dangerous chimney fires.
- Health hazards – Blockages in the flue can allow harmful gases, including carbon monoxide, to enter your living space.
- Costly repairs – Neglecting chimney care can lead to expensive damage to your flue liner, stove, or property.
By booking regular sweeps with Anglian Stoves, you’ll ensure your heating system is safe, efficient, and long-lasting.
How Often Should You Sweep Your Chimney?
The frequency of sweeping depends on how often you use your stove or fire and the type of fuel you burn:
- Wood-burning stoves – At least twice a year during burning season.
- Smokeless fuels – At least once a year.
- Open fires – At least twice a year.
Regular sweeping not only ensures safety but also prolongs the life of your stove, chimney liner, and flue system.
