WITH SOLID FUEL ON THE INCREASE AND SO MANY STOVE INSTALLATIONS,BEING A HETAS REGISTERED SWEEP,MEANS YOUR TRAINED TO SPOT POOR INSTALLATIONS OR DANGEROUS INSTALLATIONS, LIKE LEAKING CHIMNEYS ETC.SO THE TRAINED SWEEP VIRTUALLY ACTS A FIRE SAFETY OFFICER AND NOT JUST A BRUSH MAN.

THE APPOINTMENT TIME YOU ARE GIVEN FOR YOUR CHIMNEY SWEPT IS AN APPROXIMATION,CAN YOU PLEASE BE IN HALF AN HOUR BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT TIME, AS WE SOMETIMES ARRIVE EARLY. . I PREFER LINERS,POWER SWEEPING IS JUST A SMALL WHIPHEAD WITH REALLY FLEXIBLE RODS ,I CAN SWEEP A LINER IN 20 MINS WITH THIS METHOD,AND THERE IS ZERO SURFACE TENSION. WHEN THERE IS DAMAGE TO LINERS, THIS IS NOT CAUSED BY THE SWEEPING METHOD [BRUSH OR POWER SWEEPING],IT CAN BE CAUSED BY SEVERAL REASONS BEING , THE LINER FITTED UPSIDE DOWN. ALSO NO RAINCAP FITTED WHEN A LINER IS INSTALLED ,PROTECTING IT FROM THE RAIN WHICH CAUSES CORROSION IN THE LINER [MAINLY AT THE TOP]. ALSO THE WRONG GRADE OF LINER FITTED AND THE CUSTOMER BURNING SMOKELESS FUELS ON THE WEAKER GRADE ,WHICH ISNT ALLOWED[ LACK OF ADVICE GIVEN TO CUSTOMER],AS THE SULPHUR IN THE OVOIDS CORRODES THE LINER RAPIDLY, CUSTOMERS CAN BE QUICK TO BLAME A SWEEP FOR A CORRODING LINER, BUT ITS MOST TIMES ONE OF THE ABOVE. ALSO HOME INSTALLATIONS MAINLY BY THE HOUSEHOLDER,AND ARE NOT SIGNED OFF [DO NOT COMPLY WITH YOUR BUILDINGS INSURANCE] , AND NEARLY ALWAYS NOT INSTALLED TO BUILDING REGULATIONS, ALSO FITTING KOPEX LINERS[GAS] TO SOLID FUEL APPLIANCES IS ANOTHER ONE WE COME ACCROSS REGULARLY.

BEFORE POWER SWEEPING BECAME KNOWN IN CHIMNEY SWEEPING CIRCLES,AND WAS IN ITS INFANCY,AND WAS BEING TESTED WITH PROTOTYPES,I WENT DOWN TO NORFOLK IN 2008-2009,TO LEARN POWER SWEEPING WITH RODTECH FOUNDER,BOB RUSSELL AND WAS THERE FOR TWO DAYS ,SWEEPING CHIMNEYS IN NORFOLK,I THEN CAME HOME AND WAS USING THE PROTOTYPES TO SWEEP CHIMNEYS IN NORTHUMBERLAND,BOB THEN MASTERED IT AND FOUND THE NEW CLICK ROD SYSTEM AND WHIPHEADS ETC,WHICH I THEN PURCHASED MYSELF AND BROUGHT THE POWER SWEEPING SYSTEM TO NORTH EAST ENGLAND IN 2010,AND HAVE USED IT EVER SINCE,AND I HAVE NEVER USED THE TRADITIONAL BRUSH SYSTEM SINCE,WHICH I STILL POSSESS. FOR A QUICK AND CLEAN EFFICIENT SERVICE,CALL RICHARD ON 07858392934. BEES NESTS= WHEN PEOPLE HAVE BEES NESTS IN CHIMNEYS,ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN DESTROYED,THE NEST CANNOT BE REMOVED BY A CHIMNEY SWEEP.THIS IS NORMALLY REMOVED BY THE PEST CONTROLLER,FROM THE TOP ,AS MOST BEES NESTS ARE JUST DOWN BELOW THE POT.THE CHIMNEY IS NORMALLY SATURATED WITH HONEY,TELL TALE SIGNS ARE, POOLS OF HONEY AT THE BASE OF YOUR FIRE,THIS IS A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE AND CANNOT BE REMOVED BY SWEEPING THE CHIMNEY,AS YOUR RODS ETC ARE COATED WITH STICKY HONEY,AND VERY HARD TO REMOVE,[SPEAKING FROM EXPIERIENCE,].BEES NESTS ARE NORMALLY THEN TAKEN OVER BY WASPS,SO TRYING TO REMOVE A NEST BY SWEEPING,CAN BE DANGEROUS,DUE TO HUNDREDS OF ANGRY WASPS.
