Stove Maintenance
Wood burning and multi-fuel stoves need to be kept clean and swept on a regular basis.
HETAS recommends that wood-burning stoves be swept at least twice a year to remove soot deposits and checked for blockages.
Burning wet logs increases soot and increases the chance of a chimney fire. Logs should be kiln dried or seasoned for at least a year.
For some older stoves there may be a requirement to replace the internal fireboards/vermiculite as this can breakdown with heavy usage and age.
We can recommend local trusted chimney sweeps to take care of your chimney sweeping and servicing, please feel free to drop us an email.
