Servicing & sweeping
Servicing to keep your stove at its best
A stove that is swept and serviced once a year lights easily, burns cleanly and lasts. We sweep the flue, check the seals and working parts and put right anything that has worn, so you head into winter with a fire you can trust.

Common questions
Servicing, answered plainly
How often should a wood burning stove be serviced?
Once a year is the sensible rhythm for a stove in regular use, ideally before the heating season. A yearly service keeps it burning efficiently, catches worn seals or glass early and keeps your warranty and insurance happy.
Do you sweep the chimney as well?
Yes. A service and a sweep go together. We clear the flue or liner, check the draw and make sure nothing has built up over the year.
What does a service include?
We sweep the flue, check and replace rope seals and firebricks if needed, clean the glass and the airwash, check the door and grate and make sure the stove is drawing and sealing as it should.
