This is a great post and an important reminder for anyone selling – or thinking about selling – a property in France.

We often receive requests for urgent appointments because the chimney sweep has been overlooked or left until the last minute. This can potentially delay the sale, particularly if the sweep identifies an issue that needs to be addressed.

If you're planning to sell, it's definitely one job worth getting sorted early! 🔥

🚨 𝗔 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗺𝗻𝗲𝘆… 🔥🧹

I've had a few recent cases where everything has been progressing nicely towards the Acte de Vente…

The Compromis de Vente has been signed ✔️
The buyers are waiting to complete ✔️
Everyone is getting ready for the big day ✔️

…and then the chimney gets swept. 😬

Unfortunately, in a few cases, the sweep has discovered problems with the chimney or flue that nobody was aware of.

And suddenly, something that could potentially have been identified much earlier becomes a last-minute problem just before signing the Acte de Vente.

🔥 Further investigations may be needed.
🔥 Work may need to be carried out.
🔥 The buyer may have concerns.
🔥 And everyone is suddenly trying to find a solution when they thought the sale was almost complete!

So, if you're thinking of selling a property with:

🪵 A wood burner
🔥 An insert
🏠 An open fireplace
♨️ Or any heating system using a chimney or flue…

My advice? 🧹

Get it swept early in the selling process — ideally before you even reach the point of signing the Compromis de Vente.

If there's a problem, it's far better to discover it early and have time to deal with it calmly.

Because nobody wants a nasty surprise when the champagne is practically on ice… 🥂😂

Summer storms don't just affect roofs.

High winds and heavy rain can damage chimney pots, cowls and flashing. After a particularly bad storm, it's worth having a quick look from ground level to check everything still looks as it should.

One of the perks of the job… meeting helpers like Bertie! 🐾

He was very keen to get involved when I visited his home carried out a sweep at his home - although I’m not entirely sure the tennis ball is approved chimney-sweeping equipment. 😂

Always nice to meet the four-legged members of the household along the way!

Many people think about trees in relation to gutters, but overhanging branches can also affect chimneys.

Leaves, twigs and moss can find their way into open flues, while nearby branches provide easy access for birds to build nests. A quick visual check around your chimney during the summer can save problems later in the year.
