Do you miss sweeps or forget to book in your chimney sweep

Never miss a chimney sweep again with the "Free Reminder Service" from Jim Chim-in-ey.

Regular maintenance to keep your home in smooth working order can be a bit of a bit of a choir and with so many appliances and services to keep on top of its easy to see how you might forget to get your chimney swept.

That's why Jim Chim-iney has created a "Free Reminder Service" to help you get your chimney swept on time.

Why is missing one or two chimney sweeps an issue?

Missing a sweep may void your home insurance in the event of a chimney fire or soot fall. Your chimney sweep also recommends a safe sweeping interval based on your burning habits, soot quality and other variables. Missing that date could head into chimney fire territory.

What is a chimney smoke pressure test?

What is a chimney smoke pressure test?

The smoke pressure test, also known as a chimney soundness test can identify any fault that causes fumes to escape during the normal operation of the appliance. The test is carried out by a professional following the procedure described in the European Standard BSEN 15287-1. To comply with Building Regulations chimneys should be pressure smoke tested to ensure that the appliance is safe to use when planning to reinstate or open up a fireplace. This is because mortar joints can deteriorate with age.

Does a chimney sweep certificate ensure my chimney is sound? 

A simple visual check by your chimney sweep may be used as guidance of the condition of your flue, but please be aware that this check only refers to what can be seen from the ground with a mirror and torch. It is always advised that a pressure smoke test is undertaken. 

What if my chimney fails the smoke pressure test? 

Every part of a property will require repairs over time and a chimney is no different. It is unrealistic to expect an old chimney to be sound for a lifetime. If your chimney fails the soundness test then the test has been successful in preventing you from being exposed to harmful fumes. Yes, It may be necessary to have the chimney lined or an alternative appliance installed, but at least you are safe.

Thinking of opening up your fireplace?

Stay safe and make sure you talk to an experienced chimney sweep in your area before lighting a fire.

Bournemouth Chimney Sweep's Bird Nest Calendar.

I still need the birds nest removed during the bird season?

Being a bird lover, Jim does not facilitate the removal of nests in season and would always recommend waiting until August/ September.

If the removal of the nest must be completed during the bird nesting season, then a breeding bird survey must be carried out by a professional and their advice taken prior to any work commencing.

Breaking the Countryside Act 1981 will result in a fine of up to £5000.00 or up to 6 months in prison.

For more info regarding on the Countryside Act 1981 please visit my previous article - The UK Law that is protecting wild birds.

Reduce woodburner air pollution with education, support the BurnRight campaign!

Jim Chim-in-ey is supporting the @BurnRightUK campaign to reduce air pollution with education.

If you own a woodburner or fire? You can learn how to save money, burn more efficiently and reduce your carbon emissions by visiting -  BurnRight.co.uk

Burn Right campaign logo

Jim Chim-in-ey, of Bournemouth, Dorset has signed up to the Burn Right campaign.

It was created by chimney sweeps and professionals in the solid fuel industry in an effort to educate people on how to use their woodburners and multi fuel stoves correctly.

If not properly operated, woodburners and stoves can not only pollute the atmosphere, but also pose a risk of chimney fires, life and property.

“The main problem is that wood is often not burned at a high enough temperature. If it’s not hot enough then unburned fuel travels up as a vapour and out of the chimney causing unnecessary pollution.

“There is a real lack of customer awareness with some of these issues and most people who use a woodburning stove don’t even know there is a problem, let alone think that they might be a part of it.

“The design of the stove and the moisture content of the wood are two factors that affect the burning temperature but the most important thing is the way the user controls the air supply to the stove. Basically, if the air supply is closed off too much, the wood can’t burn hot enough. Closing the air off too much does not save fuel, it wastes fuel!”

“Burn Right seeks to help people who use stoves to get it right and make a difference to the air quality where they live. Not only is this good news for the environment, but users will save money, their chimney will be cleaner - and therefore safer - and the chimney and the stove will last longer too.

“The campaign is being spearheaded by professional chimney sweeps across the country, and I’m pleased to be one of them. We have a unique perspective of the stove, the fuel, the chimney and the customers burning habits and can advise accordingly.”

For a full guide, go to the BurnRight website - complete with video demonstrations which explain everything. “Get it Right” at: www.BurnRight.co.uk
