Sweeping chimneys in Middleton
Middleton has some genuinely interesting housing for a town its size. Alongside the Victorian terraces and the mill-era streets there is a cluster of Arts and Crafts property by Edgar Wood, the architect who worked extensively here around the turn of the last century. Chimneys on houses like those are part of the design rather than an afterthought, and they want treating carefully.
Around them sit the interwar semis of Alkrington and Rhodes, and the large post-war estate housing at Langley — simpler single flues, but a great many of them blocked off during the central heating years and since reopened.
That reopening is the most common job we get called to here, and it is the one most likely to turn up something unexpected: old soot falls, failing parging, or a flue that turns out to be shared with next door.
What we find in Middleton homes
What comes up most often on jobs round here.
- Long-dormant flues brought back into use — sweep and draw test before first lighting. Assume nothing about a chimney out of service for decades
- Ornate and period stacks on the Arts and Crafts property — these take longer and need looking at properly before anything goes up them
- Narrow terrace flues built for coal — quicker to block than a wide Victorian throat
- Shared and crossed flues in terraced property — more common than people expect, and a genuine carbon monoxide risk where one side is in use and the other is not
- Stoves fitted into unlined chimneys on the estates — common, and they soot up faster than owners are led to expect
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.
