Property scenario

When smoke behaviour changes from normal

Explain the intended order if several improvements overlap so completed work is not opened up again without reason. A flue that has not been used for a long period may need a different review from one receiving regular routine maintenance. Keep routes for dirty work, deliveries and waste separate from completed decoration and flooring where that is practical.

Service-specific note

Useful safety and scope information

If there is a safety concern around smoke, damage or a suspected blockage, stop using the appliance and seek appropriate specialist help rather than treating it as a routine sweep.

Work Cedar can review

Chimney-sweeping and flue-care enquiries Cedar can review

A useful chimney enquiry identifies the fireplace or appliance, how the flue is used and any smoke, soot or draw symptoms before routine sweeping is assumed to be enough.

  • Routine sweeping for suitable open fires, stoves and used flues
  • Sweeping before or after seasonal use where appropriate
  • Basic flue-condition observations during an accepted sweep
  • Blocked or poorly drawing chimney enquiries requiring specialist review
  • Sweeping coordinated with fireplace or roof work
Local context

Useful chimney information for a Burgess Hill property

Keep routes for dirty work, deliveries and waste separate from completed decoration and flooring where that is practical. If the flue has known alterations, include that history so the current request is not treated as an unchanged installation. Symptoms should be recorded as observed rather than converted into a diagnosis by the customer. Explain the intended order if several improvements overlap so completed work is not opened up again without reason.

Planning the scope

Identify the connected appliance clearly

Safe room-level information is enough for an initial enquiry; customers do not need to access the roof or chimney top. Where another contractor has prepared the area, describe what has actually been completed rather than assuming the next stage is ready. Cedar can then separate routine sweeping from a request that first needs a more specific specialist assessment. Where a Burgess Hill fireplace or stove has a draw or smoke concern, describe that separately from the routine cleaning request.

Before you submit

Information that helps Cedar review the job

  • The fireplace, stove or appliance connected to the flue
  • When the chimney was last swept if known
  • Any smoke, smell, soot fall or draw problem
  • Safe access to the appliance and surrounding room
  • Any recent fireplace, liner, roof or chimney work
Cedar enquiry process

What happens after you send the enquiry

A real person at Cedar & Stone reviews the property, location, scope and timing. Sending the form does not book the work or guarantee acceptance.

If Cedar accepts the work, Cedar handles or manages the accepted Cedar job. If Cedar declines it, an optional onward-referral service is only used where you separately chose it during your enquiry; choosing that option does not itself transfer the enquiry before Cedar records a decline.

Useful questions

Questions before you enquire

Can I request a routine chimney sweep?

Yes. Identify the fireplace or appliance and when it was last swept if that is known.

Does sweeping prove the whole chimney is sound?

No. Sweeping a suitable flue does not by itself confirm every part of the chimney, liner or appliance is safe.

Can I mention a smoke or draw concern in a Burgess Hill enquiry?

Yes. Describe what happens and stop using the appliance where there is a safety concern until appropriate advice is obtained. Where another contractor has prepared the area, describe what has actually been completed rather than assuming the next stage is ready.
