Creosote is a highly flammable substance that builds up inside chimney flues over time. When left unchecked, it can lead to dangerous chimney fires that threaten your home and family.

What is Creosote?
Creosote is a dark, tar-like substance that forms when wood is burned. It condenses on the inner walls of your chimney flue, building up over time. There are three stages of creosote build-up:
- Stage 1: Light, flaky deposits — easily removed with regular brushing
- Stage 2: Hard, crunchy deposits — requires more intensive cleaning
- Stage 3: Glazed, shiny deposits — professional removal required
Our Creosote Removal Process:
1. Comprehensive chimney inspection
2. Assessment of creosote level and type
3. Professional removal using specialised equipment
4. Full cleanup and disposal
5. Safety check and recommendations
Signs You Need Creosote Removal:
- Reduced draw or poor airflow
- Smoke entering the room
- Black soot around the fireplace
- Unusual odours from the chimney
- It's been more than 12 months since your last clean
