Question 1

How often should my chimney in Scone 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 Scone?

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 Scone 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

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

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 5

Do you cover Highland Perthshire in winter?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Pitlochry, Aberfeldy, Blair Atholl, Kinloch Rannoch and the glens are on our round year round, though we schedule roof-level work around the weather rather than promising a fixed date in a snow week.

Question 6

Do you handle estate cottages and holiday properties?

Accepted Answer

We do. Estate and let cottages need paperwork as much as workmanship, so we issue certificates per property and can sweep several addresses on one visit to keep costs down for the estate office.

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.
