Maintenance advice for owners of flued gas appliances in Conwy.
Gas fireplace chimneys should be inspected and cleaned annually. There will not be any soot or creosote in the chimney
since you are not burning wood, but you may find bird nests that need to be removed..
Most homeowners know the chimney of their wood burning fireplace needs a good cleaning every season. But gas fireplace
owners are generally a little less serious about their annual fireplace cleaning.
Gas fireplaces sometimes have a buildup of debris. For example, ceramic logs can deteriorate and clog vents.
If the exterior chimney has a cracked crown or if the mortar joints are in poor condition, moisture can enter the chimney system
and cause the flue tiles to break off and fall into the hearth.
Birds frequently drop debris into open chimney outlets. This can limit the efficient exhaust of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide.
It’s important to have the entire fireplace cleaned and ready for another year of use, including cleaning any residue from the glass doors,
inside and out.

You would be amazed the things we find stuck in customers' chimneys. Not just soot and twigs dropped by perching birds — fir cones, rags, dead birds, rodents and even squirrels.
Fragments of newspaper used to light the fire can be carried up the chimney and become caught in existing debris. The result can be a fire of consderable intensity fuelled by accumulated soot.
We use a CCTV camera to check for any serious chimney obstructions.
The image below shows the amount of debris that accumulated in just one chimney.
