Do I need a chimney sweeping certificate for my home insurance?

Following every professional chimney sweep, you’ll receive a NACS Approved, insurance-recognised chimney sweeping certificate confirming that your chimney and flue have been professionally cleaned and inspected.

For any wood-burning stove, multi-fuel stove or open fire that is in regular use, annual chimney sweeping is essential. Regular sweeping removes soot, tar and creosote deposits, helps prevent dangerous chimney fires and carbon monoxide risks, improves appliance efficiency, and ensures your chimney operates safely throughout the heating season.

Keeping your chimney professionally maintained each year also provides a documented service record, which may be requested by insurers or appliance manufacturers should you ever need to demonstrate that your chimney has been properly maintained.

For homeowners in Bath and the surrounding area, annual chimney sweeping is one of the simplest and most effective ways to protect your home, your family and your investment.
