year by a qualified chimney sweep.*
If the appliance is used continuously throughout the year
or it is used to burn wood or smokeless fuel, more frequent
sweeping is recommended.
The best time to have the chimney swept is at the start of
the heating season.
The above applies even if burning smokeless fuels.

flue ways if incorporated, must be regularly cleaned.
14.3 Ensure adequate access to cleaning doors where it is not
possible to sweep through the chimney.

open fire the chimney must be swept a second time within
a month of regular use after installation.
