Here at Opulence Stoves, our service doesn’t end once your stove has been installed. We offer a range of Sweeping and Servicing plans, tailored to the stoves we install, to ensure that the stoves we install continue to work in optimal condition for years to come.
Our in-home service can start from a simple Lighting Demo, which walks you through the best way of getting your stove lit, how to encourage a good burn, and how to ensure your stove burns as cleanly as possible.
Within the first year of having your Stove, and every 12 months thereafter, you are going to need a sweep. Don’t think of it as a cleaning exercise, and don’t think of it as something that needs to be done based on use!
Think of it in terms of a car MOT. Regardless of how much you drive your car, you need a MOT certificate to insure it, and to keep your warranty up to date.
So, what do we do? A few years down the road, your stove may begin to look a bit “tired”. Cleaning out ash can be a dusty business at the best of times, and honestly, who can blame you for overlooking the stove for a clean every now and again…..nor maybe slightly more often?
On top of our standard sweep service, we can give your stove a MOT of its own!
A quick respray, a thorough clean using our professional power-sweeping equipment, and a re-oiling of your slate hearth can make a world of difference.
The Power Sweep was carried out, after fully vacuuming the firebox to rid it of excess ash. Once swept, the stove has a smoke test to ensure all seals are in good condition, and fire cement is replaced in flue connections, as needed. The service side of the visit begins with the initial clear out of the firebox, and then moves onto the stove exterior, where the Sweep resprayed the outside panels of the stove to restore the “day one look” of the stove.
Finally, the stove was given a clean, glass brought up to a shine, ash dust washed away from the surface of the hearth, which was lastly re-sealed with a wipe down of boiled linseed oil.
Just see the results for yourself!
