Sweeping chimneys in Irlam
Irlam and Cadishead grew around the Ship Canal and the steelworks, and most of the housing went up to serve them — interwar and post-war semis and terraces, built at pace and to a handful of repeated designs.
That makes the chimneys unusually consistent. Single flues to the front room, often a second serving a back room, and party-wall stacks shared with next door. After enough of them you know roughly what you will find before the sheets go down.
What varies is what has been done since. A great many of these fireplaces were closed off during the central heating years and have been opened back up in the last twenty years, or had a log burner fitted into the old opening. A flue that has spent decades behind a panel is a different job to one in continuous use.
What we find in Irlam homes
What comes up most often on jobs round here.
- Reopened fireplaces — the most common job here. Sweep and draw test before first lighting, not after the room fills with smoke
- Party-wall stacks shared with next door — an unused flue on the other side is still worth knowing about
- Stoves fitted without a liner into flues sized for an open fire — they run cool and soot up faster than owners expect
- Fires that stopped drawing after new windows and insulation went in — usually air supply rather than a blockage
- Original pots and flaunching approaching a century old on the older stock
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.
