Brief business description

Welcome to DDM Chimney Sweep Ltd Chimney Sweeping 99% of the time I sweep chimneys the traditional English way which has worked for the last 150 years using rods and brushes. The modern part of chimney sweeping is sheeting up and cleaning away soot and debris at the bottom of the flue. I use a modern hi-tech vacuum cleaner with two motors and three sets of filters to eliminate all soot from entering the room. The fireplace is sealed by a tried and tested method used by most modern chimney sweeps. Glazed Creosote Removal Occasionally I come across heavily glazed/ tarred flues - normally in multi-fuel room heaters which have been burning lots of wood and haven't been swept or serviced regularly. The traditional chimney sweeping method will not remove this glaze/ tar. I therefore have various systems from Germany, the Ro-Kleen power sweeping system from the USA and the TAMAR power sweeping system from the UK. These remove the glaze/ tar most of the time. Certification With sweeping and power sweeping a certificate is always issued for your home pack and insurance purposes.
