Rotary Sweep based in Pontefract

Tough, sticky soot clinging to flue walls can cause smoky air and possible chimney fires. A basic brush might not handle thick layers well, leaving some residue behind. If you’ve had repeated sweep visits or used logs claiming to “treat” creosote but still notice problems, you may need a more forceful cleaning approach.

Why Thick Creosote Is a Concern

Hardened deposits block airflow and increase fire potential.

Burning wood or coal produces a residue that can harden over time if sweeps are missed. The chimney narrows, leading to weaker drafts and smoky rooms. In worst-case scenarios, the dried creosote can catch fire, putting your entire home at risk. Traditional manual brushes sometimes don’t create enough friction to dislodge these stubborn buildups, requiring multiple attempts or additional treatments.

Continuing with partial fixes only extends the frustration. You might light your stove and realize an hour later that there’s still a soot smell or hazy air. The solution lies in a technique that can reach every inch of the flue with consistent strength.
