A clean and efficient chimney is a safer one for you and your home.
At Step In Time Chimney Services we provide professional chimney sweeping, inspection, and installation services. We are a family business, and take pride in our attention to detail, customer service, and providing essential safety information to householders. We will advise you on what you should be burning, how, and why (to protect your chimney system and the environment).
Our chimney sweeping service uses rotary power sweeping for wood burners and open fireplaces. We use the latest equipment for maximum effect, yet with minimal impact on your chimney lining. Each sweep includes a type 2 smoke test and certificate for insurance purposes. We also provide chimney inspections, chimney lining, log burner servicing, and the fitting of bird guards, rain caps and chimney cowls.
When you use a fire, a deposit of soot builds up in the lining of your chimney flue. This can create a fire risk, and impede your chimney’s exhaust path and trap dangerous by-products of incomplete combustion including carbon monoxide. A regular chimney sweep by a trained professional is essential to remove any blockages and to keep an eye on your chimney’s health and efficiency.
Your chimney should be swept at least annually, but if you are burning wood then this should ideally be every 3-6months whilst it is operating on a regular basis. As an example, if you were using your chimney regularly between October - March, then a sweep in January and April is perfect. Your chimney will then be ready for the following year.
Our chimney cleaning service includes:
Chimney lining services
If you are considering a log-burner installation or your chimney needs re-lining, we can advice on liner types, and fit a new liner and all related components (pots, hanging cowl and enclosure or register plate). This leaves your chimney ready for a log-burner to be fitted.
We are based between Rudgwick and Cranleigh, and cover a wide geographical area for villages and towns in Surrey and West Sussex. We are happy to work in domestic and commercial settings.
