Open Fire Sweeping in Shap
Shap customers looking for open fire sweeping turn to Sweep It Cumbria. Open fires remain the heating heart of many Cumbrian homes, from the Victorian terraced streets of Carlisle to wide inglenook hearths in Eden Valley farmhouses. Our open fire sweeping service is carried out with full room protection — dust sheets and a sealed brush-bag at the fireplace opening — so your floors and furnishings stay clean throughout. We sweep the full flue length from hearth to pot, remove accumulated soot and any bird-nesting material, and issue a chimney sweep's record after each visit. We are experienced with inglenook flues, narrow Victorian-era brick flues, and the wider multi-flue stacks found in older Cumbrian housing stock, where different flues within the same stack must be identified and swept individually. Shap sits on the high fell plateau of the A6 between Kendal and Penrith — at nearly 900 feet, it sees some of the harshest winter conditions on any main road in England. Properties here are heavily reliant on solid-fuel heating through the winter, and annual stove servicing and chimney sweeping are a practical necessity rather than an option.

Open Fire Sweeping in Shap — FAQ
Open fires burning wood should generally be swept at least twice a year; those burning coal or smokeless fuel at least once. The frequency depends on how much the fire is used — if you are burning regularly through the winter, twice-yearly for wood is good practice.
Yes. Our brushes and equipment are selected to match the size of the flue, and we regularly sweep wide inglenook fireplaces in older Cumbrian and Borders properties. Inglenook flues often benefit from a more thorough sweep given their larger diameter.
