Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
It is generally recommended to have your chimney swept at least once a year, especially before the heating season begins. However, if you use your stove or fireplace frequently, more regular cleaning may be advisable. Lexands Stoves can help tailor a schedule suited to your usage and local conditions.
What signs indicate my chimney needs sweeping?
If you notice smoke lingering inside your home, a strong soot smell, or reduced stove performance, these could indicate a blocked chimney. Visible soot deposits on the fireplace or stove glass also suggest it’s time for a sweep. We at Lexands Stoves assess these signs during our service visits.
Is chimney sweeping messy or disruptive?
Our team takes great care to protect your home during chimney sweeping. We use professional equipment designed to minimise dust and mess. You can expect a tidy, efficient service with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
