WELCOME
TO NORWOOD GREEN CHIMNEY SWEEP
Do you need the services of a chimney sweep?
If you have a wood burning or solid fuel stove, then over time
your chimney’s flue or flue liner will gather a build up of soot,
tar and other harmful contaminants which, if left for too long,
have the potential to cause a dangerous chimney fire.
It is therefore important to have your chimney’s flue swept
on a regular basis. The industry recommendation is a minimum
of once a year. Sweeping by a professionally trained sweep
will not only give you peace of mind, but will also extend the life
of your flue/liner and could highlight any potential maintenance
issues with your appliances, flues, stacks, pots or cowls.
And many home insurance policies require proof
your chimney has been annually swept.

Occasionally it may be necessary to issue a

If before, this means it would not be possible to sweep your chimney

Reasons for this could include: construction issues with your stack,
chimney pot or cowl or after inspection your fire or appliance appears unsafe
to use as it was intended by its installer/manufacturer.
You will only be charged a £45 call out fee if no sweep has taken place.
Please be aware that A Red Warning Notice issued after
a sweep would incur the full charge of £75.
ENSURING A HAPPY
SWEEP VISIT...
Please ensure, wherever possible, your fire/appliance
has not been lit in the 48 hrs prior to my arrival.
I’m sorry, but a hot fire grate or box will not be swept
and the call out fee charged
Please ensure, whenever possible, the fire grate
or firebox of your appliance is clean
Please leave the area in front of your fire/appliance
clear of obstacles and remove any precious,
breakable objects
I love cats and dogs but please, whenever possible,
keep your pets away from the sweep area
once I begin my work
Where possible I will always endeavour to arrive
at the start of your 2 hour time slot
Mark has been absolutely fantastic for us. He’s polite, courteous, professional
and he really has helped us out when no other chimney sweep was interested.
Our fire hasn’t been easy but he’s helped and advised us to get it all sorted.
Nothing has been too much trouble and his costs are most reasonable.
I’d recommended him to another who also is delighted with his sweep
and total cleanliness, leaving everything spotless.
We are truly delighted and I’m pleased to say
we have found ourselves a new chimney sweep for life!!
Thank you Mark!
