🚨 Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Protect Your Home & Family 🚨

Carbon Monoxide is a silent, invisible danger. Here’s how to stay safe this season:

💨 Common Sources of CO
• Faulty boilers, cookers, or heaters
• Blocked flues & chimneys
• Running engines indoors
• Poorly ventilated wood burners & open fires (your sweep or gas engineer can confirm correct ventilation)
• Indoor charcoal BBQs

✅ Safety Checklist:
• Fit CO Alarms – One in every room with an appliance (within 3m). Test regularly.
• Service Appliances – Annual checks by a Gas Safe engineer.
• Ventilate – Keep rooms with gas or solid fuel appliances well aired.
• BBQs Outdoors Only – Never bring them inside.
• Know the Signs – Headache, dizziness, nausea? Get fresh air immediately and call for help.

⚠️ Don’t forget: CO alarms have a sensor life of 7 years (10 for newer models). The test button only checks the battery and the sounder, not the sensor. Applies to both battery and mains-powered alarms.

Sustainably Sourced Wood: What Does That Actually Mean?

When it comes to heating with wood, not all fuel is created equal. Sustainability depends on where and how the wood was sourced.

✅ Wood from well-managed forests supports biodiversity and forest regeneration.

✅ Certified sources follow strict harvesting guidelines to protect ecosystems.

✅ Using wood from these sources prevents deforestation and ensures long-term forest health.

Sustainable sourcing isn’t just about keeping warm, it’s about making sure that warmth doesn’t come at the cost of the planet.

🔥 Not Sure How Often to Sweep Your Chimney? Let’s Clear That Up.

If you’re burning wood, coal, or even running a gas appliance, your chimney needs regular attention to stay safe and efficient.

Here’s a quick guide:

🪵 Wood - Sweep quarterly while in use

🔥 Smokeless Fuel - At least once a year

🧱 Bituminous Coal - Quarterly while in use

🔥 Gas - Annually for safety and performance

Regular sweeping helps prevent chimney fires, carbon monoxide build-up, and keeps your stove or fire working as it should.

Not sure what’s right for your setup? We're always happy to offer advice based on your fuel type and how often you use it.

📞 Give us a call to book in or chat through your options, we’re here to help.

🚗 A Stove Emits Like 18 Diesel Cars? Not Quite…

You may have seen headlines saying a woodburning stove gives off the same emissions as 18 diesel cars.

But let’s put that in context:

This claim compares the stove running at full power to a diesel car cruising at 21mph -not exactly apples to apples!

It also leaves out things like tyre and brake dust (a big source of pollution from cars), and the fact that car emissions are released at face height, while stove emissions exit through chimneys, where they disperse before reaching us.

🔍 There’s always more to the story!

Modern wood burners, used properly, are a responsible and sustainable choice.
