Help Prevent Chimney Fires

In 2008 alone 9000 chimney fires wrecked the homes and lives of homeowners in the UK. Don't be a statistic, make sure you get your chimney swept and appliance serviced annually

Chimney fires can burn explosively, noisily and dramatically enough to be detected by neighbours or passers by. Flames or dense smoke may shoot from the top of the chimney. Homeowners report being startled by a low rumbling sound that reminds them of a freight train or a low flying airplane.

However, those are only the chimney fires you know about. Slow-burning chimney fires don't get enough air or have enough fuel to be as dramatic or visible as their more spectacular cousins. But, the temperatures they reach are very high and can cause damage to the chimney structure - and nearby combustible parts of the house.
