Shane Lee- I am a plasterer by trade and I worked in construction from the age of 17 until 2009. When the recession took hold I started my own business and have been cleaning chimneys since 2009 in the North Tipperary area. I also clean ranges and back boilers as well as other smaller jobs.

My business is growing as I have developed a reputation as a top class chimney sweep. I have also earned the trust of a lot of customers, in my business this is very important especially with elderly people.

The service I offer relates mostly to chimney cleaning but also includes cleaning ranges, stoves, backboilers and surrounds.

Chimney Cleaning

Chimney cleaning is a job that every house needs on a regular basis, if chimneys are not clean they can go on fire. A chimney fire can damage the chimney flue and destroy the interior of the house.

Also if the chimney is not cleaned, the range, stove or back boiler will be dirty and this means a loss of full heat in the house.  It is also very dangerous in an open fire - if soot falls down on the open fire it can cause a burst of fire around the room in some cases this leads to death and a full blown house fire.

I typically clean from the top down, this means getting on to the roof and cleaning from the top of the chimney down to the fireplace.  However, in some cases I cannot use ladders or if weather is not suitable I have to clean from the inside up, this then requires a significant amount of care and attention with regards to keeping the interior of the house clean and undamaged.

The process- I scrape the chimneys first and then brush them down. I then block up the soot box with tape and I insert a cloth up the pipe coming from the range or stove to stop the soot escaping around the house.  In the case of an open fire I use cardboard to fit the front of the fire and tape all the surrounds with duct tape. I then put a blanket over this when chimney is cleaned, I then clean whatever has to be cleaned and finally vacuum up the surrounding carpet/floor.

Range/Back Boiler Cleaning

While the range and back boiler is typically cleaned as part of the chimney sweeping, I also get calls to clean just the range/stove or just the back boiler. This entails preparing the area first by covering the floor with cardboard. I then vacuum the loose dirt from the surface of the range and then start scraping the embedded soot from the surface.

After scraping the soot, I again vacuum the area and then use a brush to dislodge the remaining dirt. The vacuum cleaner stays on throughout the process and this serves to contain loose particles.

I then clean all external parts such as lids and doors and then finish off by cleaning the surrounding area and vacuuming the floor.
