The Dangers Of Carbon Monoxide Poisoning Not To Be Taken Lightly
Toxic gases can build up in the chimney system when it is not cleaned on a regular basis. It is prudent to make sure the chimney passage is clear and unblocked by having a professional chimney sweep come in and inspect your property.
Carbon monoxide poisoning has been in the news a lot recently and one of the causes is a blocked chimney passage not allowing free flow of fumes to the outside world. Many foreign bodies can obstruct a chimney including, soot, debris from the building, bird nests, plant material e.g. branches and leafs etc. A smoke draw test needs to be performed on all the chimneys in question to make sure there is proper ventilation.

Chimney Sweep Is For Good Luck At Your Wedding
A shake of the hand or kiss from a chimney sweep is sign of good luck for the happy couple. The tradition goes back to the 19th century when a chimney sweep fell from a roof and hanging by a thread from the gutter was saved by a woman intended to be married soon. She pulled him to safety, which meant saving his life and one thing led to another they fell in love and were later married.
So to carry on the tradition why not have one of our chimney sweeps at your wedding, we all need a bit of good luck in life.
