Talking to our Dorset life guest today and well Jim the Dorset Chimney Sweep is on the phone to talk to us. Jim good morning I need your sign up on something, I want to do something a little bit cheesy, I guess this happens all the time whenever anybody talks about your life and stuff. Can i play Chim Chim-in-ey [Music] Dorset life time, I think it's only fair when you get a chimney-sweep on the show to play you know this from Mary Poppins and Dorset Life's guest today is who you've heard from it's Jim Chim-in-ey not his real name, after having had the nickname JC for years when this 31 year old took over a chimney sweeping business three years ago it seemed fitting for him to change his name.

The CCTV investigation side of chimney sweeping can be interesting when your trying to work out an issue. One job I remember. I had a gas fire where the builders built the new roof over the flu which pushed all the fumes into the loft bedrooms, that CCTV could have saved the customers life from CO poisoning. There is also the bird removal side to chimney sweeping. I've got a new found love for pigeons from this job, removing a live pigeon that's stuck in a chimney is super rewarding and they are pretty tame birds, they will happily sit on your hand while you move them to a better position.
I install draught excluders. Installing a chimney balloon or sponge in disused stack can help keep the heat in your property. Balloons can also be installed in live chimneys to stop the draught while they are out of use for the summer.

I think it's all down to education. Wood Storage, moisture content and an efficient stoves is key. I think it can only be a good thing if some customers with poor burning habits are encouraged to change their burning habits and I am all for new legislation that may helps promote positive burning. If a customer is burning unseasoned wood with an in-efficient wood burner it can create a build up of poor quality soot within the chimney's flue which in turn can cause a fire risk issues for the customer while also potentially having a negative effect on the environment.
A carbon monoxide alarm can protect you when the fuel from your fire is not burning properly, this could be due to a fault or blockage in your wood burner or it can be where there isn't enough ventilation installed in the room. An co alarm has a speaker that will alert you, especially when you're asleep. A detector will only alert you when you look at the tab. This is why it is only recommended to have a carbon monoxide alarm fitted in your property. On many occasions this will be to the left or right of the chimney breast and about 3 inches from the ceiling.

Great job, house hasn't burnt down even once since having my chimney swept! Jim Chim.in.ey stepped in at short notice when my daughter missed my regular sweep by oversleeping (until 2pm) - during a really cold spell. Happy to recommend. (Only noticeable side effect is that I couldn't stop humming afterwards)
