Do I need to get my chimney swept before fitting a new fire?
Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.06 PM
Hi there! I am wanting to replace my gas fire. It hasn't worked since I moved in three months ago, but not sure how long it has not worked for. Having looked behind the fire (can only move it away a couple of inches) there is a cut away area that would allow for an inset fire, but there appears to be some debris in the bottom of the chimney. I want some advice please on whether I would need to get the chimney swept out, or would need to do anything before I look to get an inset fire fitted. The hearth is marble and could do with some cleaning up, but I would rather keep the hearth and surround. Thanks in advance!
