Questions answered

• Are your sweeps fully trained?

  Yes. All our chimney sweeps are fully trained. We were founder members of The National Association of Chimney Sweeps and are HETAS trained Chimney Sweeps and Stove installers.

• How long will it take for you to sweep a chimney?

  This depends on how often you have your chimney swept, if there are any awkward bends in your chimney where soot can collect etc. It normally takes from 10 minutes to half an hour on average.

• Can you source a stove for me?

  We certainly can. We work closely with a national stockist and can source hundreds of stoves.

• Do you think my house is suitable for a stove?

  Richardsons Chimneys would carry out a full survey of the area where you wish to install the stove. There are a number of ways of adapting chimneys and flues to suit the installation of a stove and we believe we can install a stove in most situations.

• How long does a full installation take?

  Every job is different but an average installation could take three days.
