Sweeping and inspection
New Homeowner Inspection
Just moved in? Find out whether the fireplace or stove you inherited is safe to use.
Moving into a house with a stove or open fire is exciting, but you rarely know when it was last swept, whether the liner is sound or if the previous owner ever had it looked at.
Rob's new homeowner inspection gives you a clear picture before you light it for the first time. It includes a sweep, a check of the appliance and flue, and plain English advice on what, if anything, needs doing.
What is included
- Full sweep and smoke draw test
- Inspection of the stove or fireplace, hearth and surround
- Check of flue pipe, register plate and visible liner
- Ventilation and carbon monoxide alarm check
- Visual check of the stack and terminal
- Clear written summary of findings and recommendations
Who it is for
- Buyers who have just completed on a property with a fireplace or stove
- Tenants moving into a home with a solid fuel appliance
- Anyone unsure whether an existing installation is safe
FAQs
New Homeowner Check questions
No. Leave it unlit until it has been swept and checked. If there is a blockage or a liner fault you want to know before, not after.
