Around Montmorillon, old house or second home: we pass your request on to a chimney sweep from the area.
Chimney sweeping in Montmorillon: each appliance has its checkpoints
Open fire and insert
The brush goes up the flue from the hearth to the chimney stack, then the firebox is cleaned. In an old house, it is also a chance to have someone look at a flue you never see.
Ask for a visit if:
- smoke comes back into the room when you light the fire;
- the insert glass turns black after a few fires;
- the fireplace has not been used for a long time and you want to light it again.
Wood burner
The flue is swept, the baffle and firebox are cleaned. A stove that draws properly lights easily and keeps a steady flame.
Ask for a visit if:
- lighting it has become a struggle;
- a smell of smoke lingers in the room;
- your last certificate is more than a year old.
Pellet stove
The flue is swept and the appliance cleaned. The servicing set by the manufacturer stays separate: the professional tells you what falls under it.
Ask for a visit if:
- the stove shuts down by itself or goes into safety mode;
- the flame weakens;
- the last heating season ended without any servicing.
A house that is rarely heated still needs sweeping
A flue that sees little use is not necessarily a clean flue. Deposits stay put from one season to the next, and the damp of a closed house does not help.
The risk of a flue fire
Soot and tar can catch fire with the first big blaze of winter.
Your insurance file
Without a sweeping certificate, your insurer can dispute a claim.
Poor draw
Smoke escapes badly, the glass blackens and the appliance heats less well.

That is for you to decide with the professional. If you live far away, say so in your request: together you will work out how to give access to the house.
Yes, as soon as the flue is used. The departmental health regulations require regular sweeping, and your insurance policy may ask for it too.
Have it swept before lighting a fire. Mention it in your message, so the professional knows what to expect.

It shows the flue has been maintained. After a heating-related claim, your insurer may ask for it. Keep it with your policy.
Sweeping covers the flue. Servicing the appliance follows the manufacturer’s instructions and comes on top of sweeping.
Yes. The baffle and firebox are cleaned when the flue is swept.
The appliance must be off and cold. Do not light a fire on the day of the visit, and clear the way to the hearth.

It depends on the health regulations of your department and on your insurance policy. The professional can advise you, and your policy states what your insurer expects.
