Sweeping chimneys in Failsworth
Failsworth is terraced-and-semi country, built for coal and built at scale. The streets running off the Oldham Road went up when every room had a fire and the chimneys were swept as routine, several times a year, by somebody doing exactly what we do now.
Then gas central heating arrived, and a great many of those flues were capped, boarded over or simply abandoned. Thirty or forty years later they are being brought back — a reopened fireplace, a log burner put into the old opening — and that is the job we get called to most here.
It is also the job most likely to turn up something unexpected. Old soot falls, failed parging, a nest nobody knew about, or a flue that turns out to be shared or crossed with the house next door.
What we find in Failsworth homes
What comes up most often on jobs round here.
- Long-dormant coal flues brought back into service — sweep and draw test before first use. Assume nothing about a chimney that has been out of action for decades
- Narrow terrace flues — less forgiving than a wide Victorian throat. They block sooner and want doing on schedule rather than when you remember
- Shared and crossed flues on party-wall stacks — a genuine carbon monoxide risk where one side is in use and the other is not
- Landlord and tenancy sweeps — if you are letting a property with a solid fuel appliance you will want a dated certificate on file
- Log burners fitted into flues sized for an open fire — they run cool and soot up faster than expected
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.
