Sweeping chimneys in Handforth
Handforth is fifteen minutes from us in Wythenshawe, which makes it one of the areas where we can usually offer a choice of times rather than whatever is left in the week.
It is a town of two halves as far as chimneys go. The older village core and the roads around it have Victorian and interwar property with masonry flues, a good number of them unlined and a fair few reopened in the last twenty years. Then there are the large post-war and modern estates, where a solid fuel appliance is almost always a later addition on a lined or twin wall system.
Those are quite different jobs, which is why we would rather ask what you have got than guess from the postcode.
What we find in Handforth homes
What comes up most often on jobs round here.
- Retro-fitted stoves on the newer estates — often twin wall flue systems rather than masonry. They look clean from the outside but still accumulate deposits and still need certifying
- Reopened fireplaces in the older property — sweep and draw test before first lighting
- Stoves put into unlined chimneys sized for an open fire — they run cool and soot up faster than you were told
- Fires that stopped drawing after new windows went in — usually air supply rather than a blockage
- Party-wall stacks on the semi-detached streets — an unused flue next door is still worth knowing about
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.
