Chimney sweep, Servicing & Maintaining your stove ready for the winter

Ics registered chimney sweep. So if you need to get your wood burner, log burner or open fire ready for the forthcoming winter it is really recommended.  You should check your stove for any damage or for worn out stove parts after a cold winter. Wood/log burners come under a lot of stress from the heat and it's important that the rope seals are still functioning correctly to ensure a good seal between the glass and the door. It is also worth checking that the baffle plate or fire bricks have not become warped or cracked.
