This prevents fires and allows deadly combustion gases to be safely vented through the chimney.
Clean chimneys burn more efficiently, which will save you money, as well as helping to preserve the environment.
Anyone can set themselves up as a chimney sweep. If you choose an unregistered sweep, you are unlikely to be able to claim on your insurance for any damage caused by a chimney fire. After sweeping your chimney, an ICS chimney sweep will issue you with a certificate recognised by all leading insurance companies.
If you hire an ICS Sweep, you can be confident that you will receive a professional, courteous and conscientious service from a rigorously trained person, with the back-up of a professional body. In fact ICS is the U.K.’s largest chimney sweeping organisation. Our sweeps are experts on all aspects of chimneys: we can test your chimney for faults and advise you on getting the best usage from your fire or stove. We pride ourselves on providing the cleanest service available, with a no-mess guarantee.
