Full chimney sweep
The flue is professionally swept using suitable equipment, with careful preparation to contain soot and dust.
Your chimney is swept, your stove is stripped down and its working components are cleaned, treated and checked. A thorough maintenance service designed to improve safety, appearance and performance.
A standard chimney sweep removes deposits from the flue. That is essential, but it does not automatically mean the stove itself has been properly maintained.
The Embers Premium Sweep & Stove Service combines both jobs in one detailed appointment. The appliance is carefully stripped down, cleaned internally, checked and reassembled before the exterior and hearth are left presentable.
The £159 price applies to a standard single-sided stove connected to a lined chimney. A complete sweep and service for double-sided stoves, boat stoves, wet-back appliances, cookers and appliances connected to unlined chimneys starts from £179. If you are unsure, send a photograph on WhatsApp and we will confirm the price.
This is deliberately more thorough than a quick sweep. Every stage is carried out carefully and explained honestly.
The flue is professionally swept using suitable equipment, with careful preparation to contain soot and dust.
Removable internal components are taken out to expose the areas where soot and deposits collect.
The firebox, airways and accessible internal areas are thoroughly cleaned rather than simply vacuumed at the front.
Suitable moving parts are lubricated, fixings tightened and serviceable seals attended to where required.
Grates and ash pans are refurbished where appropriate, with suitable internal components repainted as needed.
The stove is reassembled and checked for visible damage, deterioration and issues that may affect safe operation.
Your stove works in a harsh environment of heat, soot and corrosive deposits. Internal components, seals, airways and fixings need attention if the appliance is to keep operating as intended.
Deposits are removed from accessible stove airways and internal surfaces.
Damage and wear are easier to spot when the appliance is stripped and cleaned.
Routine attention can help prevent small maintenance issues becoming expensive repairs.
Most services take between one and two hours. Exact time depends on the stove design, access and its condition.
The work area is protected and sweeping equipment is set up carefully.
The chimney is swept and deposits are safely contained and removed.

No. The service price covers the sweep, servicing labour and routine servicing materials. Any replacement parts will be discussed separately.
The right frequency depends on use, fuel and the appliance. Many customers combine it with their annual sweep, particularly where the stove is used regularly.
