CHIMNEYS AND FLUE-WAYS
It is important that the chimney, flue-ways and any connecting flue pipe are swept regularly.
This means at least once a year for smokeless fuels and at least twice a year for wood and
other fuels. Only wire-centered sweep’s brushes fitted with a guide wheel should be used. If it is
not possible to sweep all parts of the chimney through the fireplace, ensure there is adequate
access to cleaning doors.
