Bournemouth Chimney Sweep visits the most magical place in Dorset

Bournemouth Chimney Sweep Jim Chim-in-ey gets to visit some super amazing places on his sweeping travels around Dorset. 

One of the highlights of the year is his annual chimney sweep visit to the magical Sculpture by the Lake in Dorchester.

The Dorset Chimney Sweep's Video from Sculpture by the Lake

Here is a fun little video of Jim Chim-in-ey's trailer ride by Sam who is one of the friendliest and helpful grounds keepers you'll meet 😊

This is an exciting ride between the The Island and the River Keepers Hut which both can be hired out for the day. If you fancy having your own private area with a woodburner installed to keep you cozy as you take in the views relaxing by the lake visit - https://www.sculpturebythelakes.co.uk/hire


In total I sweep six woodburners with two of the stoves in their Gallery Cafe which exhibits some of Simon's smaller pieces of art. This is a great place to grab yourself a cuppa and a cheeky homemade cake while enjoying the warmth of a wood fire.

It's worth mentioning that all the staff I met on my travels at Sculpture by the lake were absolutely wonderful, making my visit an enjoyable one. It's great to be invited to sweep for such a warm and welcoming team.

Christchurch Chimney Sweeps view on legislation, wood burners and pollution

Are you worried about legislation, wood burners and pollution?

I think it's all down to education . . . Wood Storage, moisture content and an efficient stoves is key. I think it can only be a good thing if some customers with poor burning habits are encouraged to change their burning habits and I am all for new legislation that may helps promote positive burning.

If a customer is burning unseasoned wood with an in-efficient wood burner it can create a build up of poor quality soot within the chimney’s flue which in turn can cause a fire risk issues for the customer while also potentially having a negative effect on the environment.

Axe - Wood Cutting

If that customer acquired a Defra stove with 85% efficiency and only purchased and burned fully seasoned wood that was below 20% moisture level. Then they drastically reduce the risk of a chimney fire and they also drastically reduce the stoves emissions.

Looking for chimney sweep advice for good burning practice?
visit my advice and guidance page where I have written a ton of information about firewood and stove efficiency -  https://www.jimchimney.co/p/advice.html
