The MFB & CFA Recommend You Call in The Chimney Sweep Annually.

Fletchers Flues offer an annual chimney sweep program.
What's in Your Flue or Chimney?
Here is a picture showing the amount of creosote
built up in a chimney after just one winter.
When was the last time you had your
chimney or flue cleaned ?
Creosote deposited over a long period becomes highly
flammable and it's often the cause of chimney fires.
Creosote removal is vital to your safety.
Creosote can also reduce the draw of the fireplace and reduce efficiency.
Reduced efficiency means you need to burn more firewood.
Chimney Inspections should be scheduled once a year.
Don't put this task off, or let it slip your mind.

How often should I clean my gutters if I'm on rainwater tank water?
When collecting rainwater in tanks, ideally you should clean your gutters at least twice a year.
And possibly even more frequently if you have many overhanging trees, to prevent debris buildup and ensure clean rainwater collection.
A build-up of debris like leaves, twigs, and other organic matter can contaminate the collected rainwater - potentially harming your water quality.
This build-up of leaf litter can also clog the gutters, causing your gutters to overflow, so reducing the amount of water you can harvest.
