The main aim of having your chimney regularly swept is to prevent a build up of soot, creosote and tar within the system which could lead to a chimney fire. In addition, regular sweeping reduces the risk of dangerous fumes being emitted into your property and allows a greater amount of air to be drawn up through the system, increasing the overall efficiency of your appliance.

This depends on the amount of use the system gets and the quality of fuel being burned, most systems with average use require 1 sweep per year.

If however, your appliance is used as a primary heat source, then at least 2 sweeps per year would be required.

*Please note that most property insurance companies may also stipulate that a minimum of 1 sweep per year is required in order to validate the policy.
