​
​
Smoke test - all doors and windows in the room are closed and the flue is warmed. After 10 minutes, a smoke pellet is lit in the fireplace. The smoke is observed for any leakage back into the room and a door or window is opened to see if the additional ventilation speeds up the smoke.
Safety Certificate - All qualified chimney sweeps provide a certificate on completion of their work. This is for the homeowner’s peace of mind and to fulfil insurance conditions.
​
The Institute of Chimney Sweeps (ICS) provides lots of information - Chimney Sweep Best Practises, F&Q's and which woods to burn - www.icsweeps.com
​
All ICS members provide a clean and conscientious service and can offer advice on any chimney problem. Once swept a Chimney Safety Certificate will be issued, which is a necessary compliance for many home insurance companies.
