​Frequently Asked Questions: Chimney Care in Edinburgh & The Lothians

​How often should I have my chimney swept?

For traditional family homes and modern properties, we recommend a routine annual sweep. Frequency depends heavily on what you burn:

• ​Smokeless Fuel / Log Burners: Once a year minimum.
• ​Wood/Bituminous Coal: Twice a year (or quarterly if it is your primary heating source).
• ​Oil/Gas Flues: Once a year.
• ​Moving Home: Always sweep your chimney upon moving into a new property to ensure the hidden flues are structurally safe and clear of previous debris.

​Is my home in an Edinburgh Smoke Control Area?

Yes, Edinburgh and its surrounding districts fall under Smoke Control guidelines. This means you cannot emit dark smoke from a chimney line unless you are burning authorized smokeless fuels. Our team can advise you on compliant fuels and optimal burning practices during our visit.
