Chimney Sweeping in Kilchreest
A chimney sweep is one of the few jobs that is genuinely about safety rather than appearance. Soot and creosote build up in the flue, and creosote is what catches fire. Most Irish home insurance policies expect an annual sweep for a solid-fuel appliance, and the certificate the sweep issues is what a claim turns on.

Chimney Sweeping in Kilchreest - FAQ
How often does a chimney need sweeping?
Once a year for regular use, twice if you burn wood heavily or use unseasoned timber. Smokeless fuel is cleaner but still needs an annual sweep.
Does my insurance really require it?
Most Irish policies expect an annual sweep for solid fuel, and a claim after a chimney fire is where it gets tested. Keep the certificate — it is the document that proves it was done.
Will it make a mess?
It should not. The fireplace is sheeted and the sweep works with a vacuum running. If someone arrives without sheets and a vacuum, that is a bad sign.
