FAQ
What areas do you service?
We provide quality service in the following areas: Denia to Calpe and inland up to Alcalali.We can go beyond this subject to a minimal out of area charge,this covers additional petrol and time taken to travel.
Why do i pay more for an insert?
Because the insert must be removed from the firebox to clean the system properly. They require the use of a mechanical device to remove them and usually takes longer.
How long does it take to clean my appliance and do you make a mess?
On the average, a fireplace chimney or woodstove flue cleaning takes about one hour; an insert takes about two hours. Inspection-only: one hour or less. This may vary with: amount and condition of soot/creosote in flue and on chimney cap, total height of chimney, height of chimney above roofline, ladder placement requirements for chimney top inspection, roofing material and configuration, how much you and your sweep are enjoying talking to each other!

Keep the fire you want from starting one you dont!
Chimney fires don’t have to happen.
Here are some ways to avoid them:
- Have your chimney inspected annually by a qualified professional and cleaned when necessary.
- Use seasoned woods only (dryness is more important than hard wood versus soft wood considerations)saying this though,that old pine tree that you have kept from when you cut it isnt going to save you money in the long term.Thats one of the worst woods you can burn.
- Build smaller, hotter fires that burn more completely and produce less smoke.
- Never burn cardboard boxes, wrapping paper, rubbish,plastic bottles or Christmas trees; these can spark a chimney fire.
