Appleyard’s Chimney Sweeping & Services

Appleyard’s Chimney Sweeping & Services is a family-run business based in Willand, serving homes across Mid Devon and parts of South Somerset. It sweeps domestic chimneys and flues for wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves, open fires, gas fires, Aga and Rayburn appliances, and boiler flues.

Sweeping methods are chosen to suit the particular chimney, from traditional rods and brushes to rotary power-sweeping equipment. A specialist HEPA-filtered vacuum is used during the work to help keep the home clean. Each sweep comes with a recognised chimney-sweeping certificate, and the business is a member of the Institute of Chimney Sweeps.

Additional work includes removing compacted old nests, resealing appliance components and fireplaces, replacing rope seals, fire-cement seals and fire bricks, and deep cleaning or repainting wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. The service area includes towns and villages around Tiverton, Cullompton and Willand, with other nearby areas considered.

Whether you have a stove, an open fire or an Aga or Rayburn, the business offers sweeping and related upkeep for a range of domestic flues. Its published service information also notes that large inglenook chimneys are not swept.
