Because of soaring gas prices sales of wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves rose 40% in 2008 as homeowners attempted to cut their bills. This rise in sales has also affected the rise in the numbers of Chimney sweeps in the UK. Like with any tradesperson finding a good Chimney Sweep near Chesterfield in Derbyshire could save you money in the long turn.

Open fires are still a popular way of heating a room and can be found in pubs, restaurants and homes. On average just over 30 thousands houses have chimney fires every year in the UK and this is largely due to not getting the chimney swept often enough.

The advice is to get a professional Chimney sweep to clean your chimney at least once per year.

If you don’t the cost could be huge, not only financially but materially too. Most insurance companies will no longer pay out for claims made due to chimney fires unless the chimney has been swept by a professional chimney sweep and a valid certificate of sweeping issued that is recognised by insurance companies. So obviously when taking on a chimney sweep you need to ensure that they will issue you with a valid recognised certificate.

I’ve had a chimney fire once. It was very scary. High pressured flames came out the top of the chimney. The main problem with the fire was that I didn’t know my chimney was on fire. A neighbour spotted it whilst passing the house – luckily.

Another issue with not having your chimney cleaned by a professional chimney sweep near Chesterfield is poisoning from carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is a very dangerous, colourless and odourless gas, which endangers your health even at low-level exposure. Any fuel that burns creates carbon monoxide.

The problem with carbon monoxide poisoning is that the symptoms are similar to the common cold. If you suspect that you or someone you know is suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning get urgent medical advice, and do not use your appliance until it has been checked properly by a competent person.
