Recognised by all leading insurance companies. ICS  http://www.instituteofchimneysweeps.com/

Christine Adey, loves her work, with husband Frank,
and takes great care to make sure your fires are SAFE, and your chimney flues are clear.
 
All types of fires and wood burners and Oil Stoves.
All fires and stoves, should be swept at least once a year. (See article from ICS site, home page.)
WE use traditional rods for open fires, and the new Viper Reel system for all lined Chimneys.
This is specially made to trail up a liner without any damage to flue.
We, (and the Croyde sweep), also use the New Amercan Power sweeping system,
which uses soft plastic brushes, which rotate to clean the flues to perfection.
This system is best on difficult liners, with heavy tar, clinker, rotation is far better than a push. 
For sealing out dust, we use assorted industrial thick foam blocks, to fit any fire opening,
making a far cleaner sweep, as all the dirt is contained behind blocks.   

Note: An industrial vacuum is for cleaning ONLY, and does not sweep a chimney. 
To do a good job, approximately 40 minutes, per chimney is needed.
We check safety, and the condition of your fire, and can replace gasket, door brade, fire cement.
We include this on our report to you.
Note: That most oil boiler services, do not include full sweeping, which is best be done before a service.
Any other safety issues with the fire , we would recommend a Hetas engineer checks the fire and flue.

To search for a good, careful, trained sweep, find Tarka sweeps.
