Description

Chimney sweeping is not just a maintenance task — in Finland it is a legal requirement. Since 2019, the responsibility for arranging regular sweeping has rested with the property owner. Skipping it can invalidate your home insurance and, more critically, expose your family to the risk of a chimney fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.

A professional chimney sweep cleans the full length of the flue, removes accumulated soot and creosote deposits from the firebox and smoke chamber, and inspects the chimney structure for cracks and wear. The service ends with a digital sweeping certificate — the document your insurer requires as proof.

Most detached homes require sweeping annually and holiday properties every three years. Servido's certified chimney sweeps arrive on time, work methodically, and treat your home with care. Your belongings are also insured for the duration of the sweep.

Frequently asked questions

How often should a chimney be swept?

Fireplaces in a primary residence must be swept annually. Holiday properties require sweeping at least every three years, and rental cottages annually. These are the legal minimum requirements — for fireplaces in heavy use, more frequent cleaning may be advisable.

What happens if I skip chimney cleaning?

Skipping cleaning carries serious risks: accumulated soot and creosote can ignite into a chimney fire, carbon monoxide can enter the home due to a blockage, and your home insurer may reject a claim if the legal sweeping requirement has not been met. Since 2019, the responsibility lies with the property owner.

How long does chimney sweeping take?

A standard chimney sweep for a detached home takes approximately 1–2 hours depending on the size of the property and the number of fireplaces. The sweep protects your surfaces before starting and cleans up before leaving.

Do I receive a certificate after the sweep?

Yes. After every sweep you receive a digital certificate of completion. This document is important for your insurer and proves that the legal sweeping obligation has been fulfilled. Keep it in a safe place.

Do I need to do anything before the sweep?

Make sure the fireplaces are freely accessible, the ash has been removed from the firebox, and the fireplace has not been lit on the day of the visit. Also ensure that the fireplace doors open and that the roof ladder is in good condition. The sweep handles everything else — protection, sweeping and reporting.

Can the sweep detect chimney damage?

Yes. A professional sweep visually inspects the chimney structure during the service and reports any cracks, deterioration or other damage found. Early detection saves significantly on repair costs.
