Power Sweeping in Irthington
Rotary power sweeping for stubborn soot, tar, and compacted debris — the method of choice when a flue has not been swept for several seasons or has significant tar build-up.
Power Sweeping in Irthington
Irthington customers looking for power sweeping turn to Sweep It Cumbria. Power sweeping uses a rotating flexible rod driven by an electric motor to strip compacted soot, glazed tar, and debris from flue walls far more thoroughly than traditional rods alone. It is particularly effective on flues where a wood-burner has been run at low temperatures — producing creosote and tar deposits that harden on the liner over time. We use high-efficiency dust containment throughout, keeping your room clean even when the flue is heavily loaded. Where a traditional sweep is not shifting the deposit, or where the flue has not been swept in multiple seasons, power sweeping is the appropriate next step. Irthington is a village along the course of Hadrian's Wall north of Brampton, where the older stone houses — many built from Wall stone repurposed over the centuries — typically feature original chimney flues and open fires that have been in continuous use for generations.

Power Sweeping in Irthington — FAQ
Power sweeping uses a motorised rotating flexible rod to strip compacted soot, glazed tar, and creosote from the flue walls. It is more thorough than traditional rods on heavily contaminated flues — particularly when a wood-burner has been run cool, producing tar deposits that standard brushes cannot shift.
If a flue has not been swept for several years, if there is significant tar or creosote build-up, or if a traditional sweep has not fully cleared the deposit, power sweeping is the right approach. We will advise on the best method once we have assessed the flue.
