How often do I repoint a chimney?

• <div><p>You only need to repoint a chimney every 30 or more years, with some repointing jobs only necessary after several decades. If your chimney’s brickwork looks worn out or crumbly, hire a pro to inspect and repoint the chimney to improve its strength and waterproofing for many years to come.</p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>One of the main disadvantages of wood-burning stoves is that they use wood as fuel. This requires a lot of work, including buying or chopping wood, cutting it to the right size for your stove, and adding more logs to the fire throughout the day. You&rsquo;ll also need a dry place to store the wood.</p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Clean regularly, check for cracks, and inspect the chimney annually for safety.</p></div>

Q: Do you need electricity for a wood-burning stove?

• <div><p>You don&rsquo;t need electricity for a wood-burning stove unless it has a blower fan. Some wood-burning stoves include blower fans to help with heat distribution, but blower fans have a motor and use electricity to power the fan. You can still operate a wood stove without using the blower fan, so it&rsquo;s a good source of heat if you have a power outage or are looking to lower your electric bill during winter.</p></div>

Q: Can I repair a gas fireplace myself?

• <div><p>DIY is not recommended due to safety risks. Hire professionals for proper diagnosis and repair.</p></div>

We recently moved into our house but waited to use the fireplace until it had been checked by a chimney sweep. The provider came to our house within a couple of hours of my call. A rival company had rescheduled twice over a period of three weeks but still failed to show up. Lee was courteous,...
