Question 1

How often should my chimney in Aberdour Village be swept?

Accepted Answer

At least once a year for most fuels. Wood-burning users should consider twice a year because wood produces more creosote. After the sweep we issue a certificate that's useful for insurance.

Question 2

Can you service any make of stove in Aberdour Village?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We service all major brands of woodburning and multifuel stoves, and carry common consumables — door rope, fire cement, glass clips — as standard.

Question 3

Will a chimney sweep in Aberdour Village make a mess?

Accepted Answer

No. We protect floors and surrounding furniture with dust sheets and use sealed brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment to contain everything.

Question 4

Are coastal chimneys at Aberdour Village more demanding?

Accepted Answer

Yes — salt air, driving rain and gusty winds all add up. We specify materials and cowls that suit coastal conditions, and recommend slightly more frequent inspection than inland properties.

Question 5

Do you work along the East Neuk coast as well as the towns?

Accepted Answer

We do. Crail, Pittenweem, Anstruther, Elie and the surrounding villages are a regular part of our round. Salt air is hard on flue terminals there, so we tend to fit stainless rather than galvanised components and check terminals on every sweep visit.

Question 6

Do you cover the old mining rows in central Fife?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Much of the housing between Kirkcaldy, Glenrothes, Cardenden and Lochgelly is terraced miners' rows and post-war council stock, built with narrow shared stacks serving several homes. That layout affects both sweeping access and the way a liner has to be dropped, so we survey the stack as a whole rather than treating a single flue in isolation.

Question 7

Do you work on the terraces and semis in this part of town?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that housing type is most of our weekly work. Shared or party stacks are common, so we check which flue is yours before any liner or appliance work is quoted.

Question 8

Do you take on commercial premises?

Accepted Answer

Yes, including pubs, hotels, offices and community buildings. Commercial flues are often larger, dirtier and used far harder than domestic ones, so the sweeping interval is usually shorter than once a year.

Question 9

What about an inset or cassette appliance?

Accepted Answer

Inset stoves are built into the chamber, so access for sweeping and servicing is tighter. We plan for that rather than discovering it on the day, and we will say at survey stage if a removable register plate is worth fitting.
