Question 1

Will a chimney sweep in Newburgh 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 2

What's included in an annual stove service in Newburgh?

Accepted Answer

Full inspection of seals, gaskets, fire bricks, baffle plate, glass and air controls, replacement of any worn consumables, and a thorough internal clean. We test-fire and leave a service report.

Question 3

Do I get a certificate after a chimney sweep in Newburgh?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every time. The sweeping certificate confirms the work carried out and the condition of the chimney, and it's commonly required by home insurance providers.

Question 4

How often should my chimney in Newburgh 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 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

Why does Fife work often need a liner when other areas do not?

Accepted Answer

A lot of Fife property was built for coal and never lined. Coal flues are usually wide, cold and porous by now, which is fine for an open fire and poor for a modern stove that produces less heat up the flue. A stainless liner brings the flue diameter down to the appliance size and restores the draw. We tell you after the survey, not before it.

Question 7

How far ahead should I book before winter?

Accepted Answer

September and October are our busiest weeks by a wide margin. Booking in late summer usually gets you the date you want; booking in November usually means waiting.

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.
