A cleaner job with proper checks included
Our sweeping method is designed to remove soot particles from the air as we work, which helps keep dust and debris under control inside your home. We are fully insured and carry full liability insurance, giving you extra peace of mind when we are working around your fire or stove. Through our National Association of Chimney Sweeps membership, we follow the NACS Code of Practice accredited to BS6461 and BSEN 15287. We are also qualified to carry out flue smoke evacuation tests when needed. Leonards & Airlievac also provides a NACS certificate for our sweeping services. For complete reassurance on your flue condition or to book a CCTV chimney survey, please get in touch with our team today.
Keep your chimney clean, safe and prepared to use
Soot, tar and creosote do not hang about politely. They build up inside your flue and can stop smoke escaping the way it should. We carry out chimney sweeping services for homes across Hull, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire, cleaning open fires, wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, inglenook chimneys, AGAs, range cookers and Rayburns. Our vacuum-assisted system uses brushes and rotary sweeping equipment to catch soot before it spreads through your living room. That leaves your chimney cleaner and your home far less messy after the job. Leonards & Airlievac has been doing this since 1957, so you get a service shaped by long experience rather than guesswork.
Why regular sweeping is worth doing
Blocked or dirty flues can cause smoke to blow back into your room, and that is more than a nuisance on a cold evening. A neglected chimney can also raise the risk of chimney fires and soot falls, both of which can lead to costly damage. We usually recommend a sweep at least once a year, though wood-burning stoves may need cleaning twice yearly depending on the fuel you burn. Regular maintenance keeps your appliance working more efficiently and helps you spot problems before they turn into bigger repairs.
