When is the best time to book a sweep in Waterford?

Late summer and early autumn are popular, before people start lighting fires for the winter. Booking early usually gives you more choice of dates.

There are birds in my chimney in Tramore. What should I do?

Avoid lighting the fire and post a task describing the problem. A sweep can remove the nest outside the nesting season and fit a cowl or guard to stop it happening again.

How often should a chimney be swept?

At least once a year for most fires and stoves, and more often if you burn a lot of wood or use the fire daily. Ask your sweep for advice based on your fuel and appliance.

Sweeps normally use sheets, brushes and vacuums to keep soot contained. Clear the area around the fireplace and mention any delicate floors or furniture.

What does a chimney inspection include?

It varies, so ask each sweep. Inspections may include a visual check, a smoke test or a camera survey of the flue to spot cracks or blockages.

Chimney sweeping in County Waterford

Open fires and stoves are still common in Waterford, from terraced houses in the city to farmhouses below the Comeraghs and cottages around Lismore, Cappoquin and Kilmacthomas. Burning wood and smokeless fuel leaves soot and tar in the flue, and damp coastal weather in Tramore and Dungarvan can make deposits stickier and cause chimney pots and cowls to deteriorate. Jackdaws also like to nest in unused chimneys in spring. Most people book a sweep before the heating season starts in autumn. When you post your task, give your town, the number of flues, whether you have an open fire or stove, the fuel you burn, and any smoke or draught problems.
