Question 1

Will a chimney sweep in Stobswell 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

How often should my chimney in Stobswell 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 3

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

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 4

Can you service any make of stove in Stobswell?

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

Can a stove be fitted in a Dundee tenement flat?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, but the stack is shared and the flue you own may not be the one directly above your fireplace. We smoke-test to confirm which flue serves your room before quoting, and we speak to neighbours where a shared stack means work affects more than one property.

Question 6

Do you deal with the salt air along the Tay estuary?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Broughty Ferry, Monifieth, the waterfront and Ferry Road properties take the brunt of it. We specify stainless terminals and anti-downdraught cowls in those postcodes as standard, because galvanised parts corrode within a few seasons that close to the water.

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.
