Its Very important that after each sweep we proceed to do a smoke test to ensure that the appropriate draft is present in your flue system.

There are two types of smoke test available

Type 2 test

This is integrated into the price of your sweep and involves heating up your appliance after its been swept, and burning a smoke pellet to check that the chimney will evacuate the smoke/gases freely up your appliance and not down into your room

Type 1 test

Takes longer and involves sealing your chimney from the top and bottom, releasing several smoke pellets and checking each room in your home including your attic space, and the stack for an smoke leaking from the chimney, we also check the condition and integrity of your chimney stack, crown and pots

COSTS may vary depending  if scaffolding is required to access the chimney stack
