Clean your Chimney
Chimneys need to be cleaned regularly to avoid a build-up of flammable soot particles, and winter is the perfect time to do this. Soot build-up in chimneys can lead to chimney fires and mean that your fireplace will provide less heat for your home.
Remember, clean, swept chimneys are safe chimneys so please make sure you get your flue or chimney cleaned by a professional.
