HETAS Registered Installers
Professional Chimney Sweeping
Keep your chimney clear and your home safe with annual sweeping from our certified engineers.
ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE
Why Regular Sweeping Matters
A clean chimney is essential for safe and efficient stove operation. Soot and creosote build-up restricts airflow, reduces efficiency, and creates a serious fire risk.
We recommend sweeping at least once a year — or more frequently if you use your stove heavily throughout winter.
- Prevents chimney fires
- Improves stove efficiency
- Reduces smoke and fumes
- Required for home insurance
THOROUGH INSPECTION
What We Check
Soot Removal
Complete removal of soot and debris from the full flue length.
Creosote Build-up
Check for dangerous tar deposits that can cause chimney fires.
Blockages
Remove birds nests, leaves, and any debris blocking the flue.
Flue Condition
Visual inspection for cracks, damage, or deterioration.
How Often Should You Sweep?
For wood burning stoves, we recommend sweeping at least once a year — ideally before the heating season begins. If you burn wood daily through winter, consider sweeping twice a year for optimum safety and efficiency.

What Our Customers Say
EXCELLENT Based on 42 reviews Posted on LisaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fantastic experience with Paul at Northern Stoves. From the first enquiry through to installation, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to explain all our options clearly and made sure we chose the right stove for our home. The installation was completed to a very high standard, on time, and with great attention to detail. Everything was left clean and tidy, and Paul made sure we understood how to use the stove safely and efficiently before he left. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and genuinely passionate about their work. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paul at Northern Stoves to anyone looking for quality products and excellent service.Posted on LES RobertsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ After some disappointing experiences with unreliable stove fitters, I was determined to find a true professional — and I’m so glad I found Paul from Northern Stoves Huddersfield. Paul provided prompt, detailed, and competitive quotes, then fitted two Woodford stoves and an external twin-wall flue. The job involved removing an old internal flue, making good the wall, and breaking through to fit the new system — all completed efficiently over just two days. The team arrived on time, worked neatly, and clearly knew their craft. Paul is knowledgeable, friendly, and has a genuine “can-do” attitude. A real expert in his field. Absolutely first-class service — I couldn’t recommend him more highly!Posted on emma siwczykTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a recommendation for Northern stoves, Paul visited and qouted us a great price on a new log burner install. All went ahead as discussed. Very pleased with the job and the new fire. Would recommend 👍Posted on Rose-Marie WebsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Paul and Adam recently fitted a wood burner for us in our new home in Glossop. We had originally been told by someone else that we would need an inset fire (at a much higher cost for the burner) which wasn’t the style we wanted. Paul came round when he said he would to quote, quickly understood what we wanted and was able to recommend a stove to us and stone for the hearth. He and Adam were very polite and completed the work in the time estimated and left our living room very clean (the work itself was quite dusty to open up the fireplace). We’re delighted with the result.Posted on stephen hobbsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What a great decision it was to contact Northern stoves. We have never had a real fire and moving into a new home with scope to install one but knowing nothing we contacted Paul. He came around promptly and talked us through everything. They one of our cheapest quotes so we went ahead. The job didn't go exactly to plan with some hidden surprises for the guys inside the chimney but they adapted the job and made it work though it was much more difficult for them. Paul also travelled a long way to get the right tiles we asked for to finish the job as we wanted. All in all they did a fantastic job, were clean and tidy, and it was a pleasure having them work in our home. They have always been at the end of the phone also for help and advice after they were finished. Many thanks we're glad we had Paul and Adam fit our dream firePosted on Rachel PriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Great experience having a multifuel stove fitted by this company. They did the work as promised and the end result looks really good (I'm actually looking forward to winter so we can start using it).Posted on Robert NuddsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Took down my chimney stack to attic room floor level and fitted a liner, and flue system to my existing wood burner. This included boarding and plastering the wall in the attic and insulating, felting and slating over the gap left in the roof. Polite, tidy, honoured the very reasonable quote and kept me informed throughout about progress or lack of (a day was lost to rain). A very good job and a positive experience throughout. I can highly recommend Paul.
