FAQs
Will the Chimney Sweep leave a mess?
What is Carbon Monoxide?
I have a stainless steel liner as a flue, does it need to be swept?
Why do I need my chimney swept?
Another reason is through having your chimney swept and appliance serviced, your keeping everything running efficiently, the stove or fire will draw effectively and give you a better heat source. Throughout the sweeping process, we at Devon Chimney Sweeps check all appliances to ensure all parts are free and working correctly, this is important in ensuring longevity of your appliances.
Why can’t I fit my own multi fuel stove or wood burner?
I always say to customers would you fit your gas boiler, and immediately people get defensive and say they would use a ‘Gas Safe’ installer, unfortunately solid fuel is sometimes seen as less important, but with 500 degrees of heat running through your property, you would want to know it’s safe and compliant wouldn’t you?
Another problem we come across is when people are trying to sell their properties with a DIY installation. The surveyors will pick up on and ask for the installation paperwork for the appliance; unfortunately if it’s not been fitted by a HETAS installer or company they the house sale can fall through as we have sadly seen time and time again. A HETAS installer CANNOT sign off an installation that is not theirs.
