News
Wet wood & House Coal is being phased out this season. (February 2021)

What is the new UK Government rules for fires and wood burners that burn wood and coal?

• The sales of all bagged traditional house coal will be phased out by February 2021.
• The sale of loose coal direct to customers via approved coal merchants by February 2023. 
• The sales of wet wood in units of under 2m3 will be restricted from sale from February 2021,

Coal burning customers
Buying smokeless coal (clean coal) will be your option.

Wood burning customers
This shouldn't effect you too much as most of my customer already buy fully seasoned / barn or kiln dried fire wood.

Looking at seasoning the fire wood yourself?
Wet wood sold in volumes greater than 2m3 will be sold with advice on how to dry it before burning from February 2021

Your friendly Dorset chimney sweep, asking for a little support.

Hello,
Jim Chim-in-ey here.
Your friendly chimney sweep, asking for a little support.

Many of you know me as your friendly chimney sweep by day, but by night I supliment my income by DJing across a few small pubs in the area, all of which have had the rugs pulled from under them.

Due to COVID-19 both my chimney sweep business has rapidly slowed and my DJ work has been wiped out.

This is a polite request to help this sole trader survive the storm.

STOP ANY DRAUGHTS
I install draught excluders. Installing a chimney balloon or sponge in disused stack can help keep the heat in your property. Balloons can also be installed in live chimneys to stop the draught while they are out of use for the summer.
