Throughout the year all active chimneys will experience a build-up of Carbons and Creosote, more commonly referred to as 'soot'. This build-up of soot is unwanted for several reasons. The creosote that sticks to the entire chimney system is flammable if allowed to build up, putting your house at risk of a chimney fire. The carbon deposits also reduce air flow out of the chimney, creating a less efficient and slower burning fire, as well as putting you at risk of being exposed to harmful CO gasses unable to effectively be extracted up the chimney.
Chimney stacks have to bear the brunt of the British weather, the ice and frosty nights combined with the heat from your fire create a harsh ‘freeze & thaw' Cycle, only to be further eroded by strong winds and rain - it's no surprise that the chimney is sometimes the first part of the building to need structural and safety work. If you have noticed your chimney stack suffering through erosion, or if you require replacement work carried out for your insurers due to weather damage, chimney repointing and repairs are only a call away!
