Property scenario

A fireplace due for routine seasonal sweeping

If the request overlaps with refurbishment, explain which finishes are staying and which are still due to be replaced. Recent fireplace, liner or roof work can be relevant because it changes the context around an otherwise familiar appliance. State the actual parking, gate widths and path or drive surfaces that equipment or materials need to cross.

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 Horsham property

State the actual parking, gate widths and path or drive surfaces that equipment or materials need to cross. The enquiry should explain normal use and the change noticed, allowing the correct next step to be identified. Safe room-level information is enough for an initial enquiry; customers do not need to access the roof or chimney top. If the request overlaps with refurbishment, explain which finishes are staying and which are still due to be replaced.

Planning the scope

Keep symptoms separate from routine cleaning

A flue that has not been used for a long period may need a different review from one receiving regular routine maintenance. Where one part depends on a delivery, survey or specialist visit, include that dependency instead of treating the job as ready immediately. Where the appliance itself also needs attention, keep that servicing or repair requirement distinct from the sweep. A Horsham chimney-sweeping enquiry should identify the fireplace or appliance, recent use and any smoke, smell or soot symptom.

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 Horsham enquiry?

Yes. Describe what happens and stop using the appliance where there is a safety concern until appropriate advice is obtained. Where one part depends on a delivery, survey or specialist visit, include that dependency instead of treating the job as ready immediately.
