Chimney sweep certificates.

Kingsbridge Chimney sweeping provides a sweep certificate following the completion of our chimney sweeping and inspection services for your chimney and appliance. This certificate includes a safety checklist and outlines any suggestions for enhancing the safety of your appliance and flue. Many insurance policies mandate an annual chimney sweeping to mitigate the risk of chimney fires.

Camera inspections.

Following the completion of our chimney sweeping service, should we identify any issues, Kingsbridge Chimney Sweeping will conduct a comprehensive inspection of the chimney or flue using a camera. This camera inspection guarantees a meticulous evaluation in the event of any concerns regarding your chimney.

Carbon monoxide alarm fitting.

Kingsbridge Chimney Sweeping offers the installation of carbon monoxide (CO) alarms. Carbon monoxide can be lethal, even in small concentrations. Due to its colourless, odourless, and tasteless nature, it is advisable to install a CO alarm with each appliance.

How should you prepare for a chimney sweep visit?

Kingsbridge Chimney Sweeping requires unobstructed access to the appliance to ensure safe operation. We advise that you clear any items from the vicinity that could hinder access. Additionally, if feasible, organizing parking in close proximity would facilitate the efficient transportation of our equipment to your location.

How often should you have your chimney cleaned?

Regular cleaning of your chimney is essential to minimize the risk of fire hazards and to maintain the proper functionality of your chimney system. Even a small accumulation of soot can potentially ignite a fire. It is also advisable to clean the chimney if any glaze is observed within the system, irrespective of the visible soot accumulation. If you are uncertain about the necessity of a chimney cleaning, it is prudent to take a cautious approach. Numerous insurance providers suggest that chimneys be inspected and cleaned at least once a year.
