Flue Sweeping and Cleaning

flue sweeping and heater service

It is universally recommended that flue systems be cleaned and inspected once a year.

In preparing for your flue clean, we will lay a drop sheet down in front of your heater and remove the baffle plate and inspect the internals of the heater. Next your flue cap is removed, cleaned and inspected. The flue will then be brushed from the top down* and the upper flue system inspected prior to refitment of the cap. Before leaving the roof, the roof flashing will be checked for deterioration and any obvious leaks and resealed as needed. The firebox will then be cleaned and checked for damaged internal parts and integrity. The lower flue will be inspected before the baffle plate is replaced. The door and glass seal will be tested for airtight sealing and adjusted and the air controls for correct operation.

Air controls are checked and if necessary, removed adjusted and coated with anti-seize. The door is checked for correct sealing and adjusted if necessary. Air ways are checked and cleaned out if needed.
