JPFQ Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Hello All! Â In the process of gutting a house and have tonnes of wood (joists, planks, fences, floor boards, decking, celing struts etc). Let me know if anyone needs any for their woodburners or for bonfires. Collection from Woodseats road. Â Cheers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granma Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 (edited) Just wondering, do you have to get chimneys swept with wood-burning stoves? Â Granma. Edited October 13, 2013 by Granma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Just wondering, do you have to get chimneys swept with wood-burning stoves? Granma. Yes.. Once a year. just to let people no if you burn treated wood it can set fire to your chimney as it lines your chimney which can set fire . so free wood aint always the best way to go . any Q please feel free to ask . many thanks . Agreed. Treated wood will create excess tar in the chimney and create the risk of a chimney fire.  Yes ! Once each quarter it's in use. Load of rubbish.....yearly is quite sufficient. Burn during the winter months, and a clean before the following winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Â Load of rubbish.....yearly is quite sufficient. Burn during the winter months, and a clean before the following winter. Â The advice given by both The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps and The National Association of Chimney Sweeps is "quarterly when in use" when burning wood. Â Obviously there are many factors that determine how frequently a chimney should be swept including frequency of use, quality of fuel used and bad burning practice...slumbering a stove....trying to achieve an overnight burn etc. Â I always base my recommendation, after a sweep, on the quality of soot and the condition of the flue. Â On metal liners that I consider to only need sweeping annually , I advise that instead of sweeping just before the winter, sweep in the spring ( when the appliance will be out of use until winter. This way you don't have corrosive soot sitting on your liner all summer. Edited October 19, 2013 by robthesweep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
