Q: How often does a chimney need to be repointed and how long does the new pointing last?

• <div><p>When done correctly by a professional, chimney repointing can last for several decades&mdash;often 30 years or more. This maintenance is crucial for keeping the chimney structure sound, improving its waterproofing, and preventing more significant and costly repairs, such as a partial or complete rebuild. It is recommended to schedule an annual inspection to catch any potential issues early. If you notice the chimney's brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, you should hire a professional to inspect it.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a stove?

• <div><p>To maintain a stove, clean the stove, chimney, or vent regularly. You should also use seasoned wood or pellets. Schedule an annual professional inspection to ensure safety.</p></div>

Q: Is it cheaper to run a gas fireplace or central heat?

• <div><p>Running a gas fireplace is potentially cheaper than using central heating if you are heating a single room and don&rsquo;t need to heat the entire house. That's because gas fireplaces are a better source of direct heat, making them more efficient for warming small spaces. Central heating, while more efficient for whole-home warmth, uses more energy overall. Strategically using a gas fireplace, therefore, can help lower heating bills.</p></div>

Q: How difficult is it to remove a chimney?

• <div><p>Yes, removing a chimney is a difficult and major undertaking. Chimneys often provide structural support to a home, so if it's a load-bearing structure, you'll need to take extra precautions to maintain your home's integrity. A project of this complexity typically requires a structural engineer, a masonry contractor, and a demolition crew. The removal process may involve taking the chimney out brick by brick from inside the walls. The cost for chimney removal can range from $2,000 to $10,000, depending on the job's complexity. Due to the difficulty and cost, some homeowners opt to remove the fireplace and seal the chimney at the top and bottom, sometimes also removing the visible exterior portion at the roofline.</p></div>

Q: What can I use to burn garden waste?

• <div><p>To burn garden waste, you can use a dug-out burn pit lined with stone or brick, a burn barrel, or a garden incinerator. If using a burn barrel, make sure it's made entirely of metal and properly equipped with screened vents and a metal top screen. Garden incinerators are designed for waste burning and should be operated according to the manufacturer's instructions. </p></div>
