Professional Wood Burner & Multi-Fuel Stove & Open Fire Sweeping Across Pembrokeshire

Regular sweeping and maintenance are essential for keeping your wood burner, multi-fuel stove or open fire operating safely and efficiently. At K Matthews Chimney Sweep, I provide professional chimney and flue sweeping services for homes across Fishguard, Newport, St Davids and the surrounding areas of Pembrokeshire.

Whether you use your stove occasionally during winter of every day throughout the colder months, soot, ash and tar deposits can gradually build up inside the chimney or flue system. Over time this can reduce efficiency and increase the risk of smoke problems or chimney fires. Regular sweeping helps keep your appliance working properly, and allows any potential issues to be identified early.

I was trained through the National Association Of Chimney Sweeps (NACS) and aim to provide a clean, reliable and professional service on every visit.

Wood Burner & Log Burner Sweeping

Wood burners and log burners can produce soot and creosote deposits inside the flue, especially if unseasoned wood is burned or the stove is used heavily during winter. Regular sweeping helps improve airflow, maintain efficiency and reduce the build-up of combustible deposits.

I sweep wood burner flues carefully using modern sweeping equipment designed to minimise mess within the home.

Regular sweeping helps to:

  • Improve stove efficiency

  • Reduce smoke and odours

  • Prevent dangerous soot build-up

  • Lower the risk of chimney fires

  • Keep liners and flues in better condition

Multi-Fuel Stove Sweeping

Multi-fuel stoves can often create heavier soot deposits, particularly when burning coal or smokeless fuels. These appliances often require thorough sweeping to remove compacted soot and maintain safe airflow through the chimney system.

We sweep all types of multi-fuel appliances and can help identify common issues such as:

  • Poor chimney draw

  • Excessive soot build-up

  • Smoke entering the room

  • Blockages and restrictions

  • Bird nests and debris

Open Fire Chimney Sweeping

Traditional open fires can quickly produce large amounts of soot and ash, especially in older chimneys. Open fireplaces are also more vulnerable to bird nest blockages during spring and summer.

We provide sweeping for

  • Open fireplaces

  • Inglenook fireplaces

  • Older stone chimneys

  • Decorative open fires

Why Regular Chimney Sweeping Matters

A blocked or heavily soot-lined chimney can become dangerous surprisingly quickly. Sweeping removes flammable deposits and helps your appliance burn more efficiently.

Benefits include

  • Improved safety

  • Better stove performance

  • Reduced risk of carbon monoxide problems

  • Cleaner burning

  • Less smoke and smell indoors
