Is Your Chimney Ready For Winter?
Is your chimney ready for the winter? With the arrival of the colder, winter months, people will begin to start using open fires and their chimneys again.
In order to keep you and your family safe from fire, you need to take necessary steps such as ensuring your chimney is swept regularly, depending upon what fuel you burn, and we would urge all householders to have a working smoke alarm in their home.
