As part of the service, tarps will be placed at the bottom of the fireplace and efforts will be made to keep mess to the minimum. The chimney uses the pressure difference caused by a hot column of gas to create a draught and draw air over the hot coals or wood enabling continued combustion.

Chimneys may be straight or contain many changes of direction. During normal operation, a layer of creosote builds up on the inside of the chimney, restricting the flow. The creosote can also catch fire, setting the chimney and the building alight. The chimney must be swept to remove the soot. We also offer other affordable roofing services in Dublin such as roof repairs Dublin, gutter repairs and soffit and fascia repair and installation.

Can’t I clean my chimney myself?

If you have a day to devote to the task, lots of patience and the necessary equipment, it is possible to clean your chimney yourself. Bear in mind, however, that chimney sweeping can be a somewhat messy process! Make sure that you cover the fireplace and carpet with plastic or a dust sheet before you begin.

Why Clean Your Chimney?

Not sure why you should sweep or clean your Dublin chimney regularly? Here are some very valid reasons to do so:

• It clears creosote/soot deposits within the chimney, reducing the risk of a chimney fire and allows for proper venting of dangerous combustion gases.
• It increases heat efficiency – A clean chimney will also help the wood in your fireplace burn more thoroughly and efficiently. If you haven’t had a gas fireplace service come to your home in a while, the chimney is likely clogged and an insufficient amount of oxygen is reaching the burning wood.
• Makes the chimney easier to inspect – When you’ve already had professionals clean your chimney, it will be much easier for a chimney sweep to do their necessary inspections.
• Avoids Chimney fire – A wood fire creates creosote, a substance that is sticky, concentrated, and highly flammable. Just a small amount of creosote can start a chimney fire.

Keeps smoke going in the right direction – Just as carbon monoxide can back up in a dirty chimney and enter your home, so can smoke. While you will be able to see and smell the smoke, it doesn’t make it any less dangerous for your home or family. Inhaling smoke is neither pleasant nor safe, especially for children.
