A clogged flue is a silent danger

Every year in France, 5,000 house fires are caused by poor chimney maintenance. Here's what we prevent.

Without a professional chimney

Chimney fire

Creosote builds up and ignites suddenly. Temperatures reach 1,000°C inside the flue, spreading to the roof within minutes.

Carbon monoxide poisoning

Blocked flue, reversed draft, invisible and odourless CO. 3,000 poisoning cases per year in France, 300 deaths.

Insurance claim denied

Without a sweeping certificate, your insurer can refuse to pay out after a fire. It's a standard clause.

Everything about your chimney sweep in Genouillac

French departmental health regulations require at least one sweep per year for gas flues, and twice a year for wood or oil including once during the heating season. It's mandatory for home insurance purposes.

Yes, the sweeping certificate proves that maintenance was carried out by a qualified professional. Your insurer may request it in the event of a fire or carbon monoxide incident.

Allow 30 to 45 minutes for a standard chimney or stove sweep. Creosote removal takes 1 to 2 hours depending on deposit thickness and flue length.

Yes, we service all types of wood-burning appliances: pellet stoves, log burners, inserts, open fireplaces and wood boilers. Equipment is adapted to flue diameter and type.

A standard sweep costs between 55 and 75 euros including VAT. Creosote removal ranges from 150 to 350 euros depending on difficulty. Stainless steel lining from 800 euros. Free no-obligation on-site quote.

Call the fire brigade immediately on 18 or 112. Do not attempt to put it out with water. After the emergency services have intervened, have the flue inspected by a professional. We provide emergency service within 48h to secure the flue.

The tenant is responsible for routine maintenance including sweeping. The owner pays if the property is vacant or if the flue requires structural work (lining, repair). In a co-ownership, the managing agent arranges sweeping of shared flues.

Creosote is a black, hard and glassy deposit that forms inside the flue when wood burns at low temperature or when the wood is damp. Highly flammable, it can cause a chimney fire. Mechanical creosote removal eliminates it completely.
