Question 1

Will I need a new liner for my chimney in Pathhead?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes — particularly in older properties. We assess this during the survey and include the liner in the quote if it's needed. A liner improves draw, contains flue gases and protects the stack.

Question 2

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

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 3

How often should my chimney in Pathhead 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 4

Can you service any make of stove in Pathhead?

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 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

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.
