Sweeping chimneys in Ashton-under-Lyne
Ashton is a proper market town with the housing to match, and it gives us a wider range of work than most of east Manchester. The streets around the centre are Victorian terraces built for coal, with a scattering of larger Victorian property on the roads out towards Ashton Moss and Hurst.
Head east and it changes. Out through Stalybridge and Mossley the ground rises towards the Pennines, the properties get older and more of them are stone-built, and a woodburner up there is far more likely to be doing genuine heating than sitting decorative.
That matters for how often we need to see you. A stove that is lit most evenings from October to April builds deposits far faster than one used a dozen times over Christmas — and if the logs are not properly seasoned the result is tar rather than soot.
What we find in Ashton homes
What comes up most often on jobs round here.
- Hard-worked log burners on the Pennine side — twice a season is the minimum, not the target, and we will tell you straight if your fuel is the problem
- Weathered stacks on exposed property — frost and driven rain take a toll as the ground rises. We check the stack with binoculars before we sweep
- Narrow terrace flues built for coal, many of them out of service for decades and now being brought back
- Shared and crossed flues in terraced property — a genuine carbon monoxide risk where one side is lit and the other is not
- Stoves retro-fitted into unlined masonry chimneys — the flue is too wide and it soots up far quicker than it should
No mess, and a certificate your insurer accepts
Sheets go down before we start and a high-powered HEPA filtered industrial vacuum runs throughout the job. We sweep traditionally or by power sweeping depending on what your flue actually needs.
Every job includes a free smoke draw test and a NACS Certificate of Chimney Sweeping — which matters, because most insurers will no longer pay out on chimney fire damage without one.
