Chimney & stove cleaning in Marsaskala
Marsaskala has grown into a busy residential town in the southeast, with a mix of older village homes, newer houses and villas. Fireplaces and wood burners are common in the family homes, and some properties are used as second or holiday homes.
Chimney and stove cleaning in Marsaskala
A fireplace or wood burner used mainly in winter still needs a sweep before the season, because months of disuse are when nests, debris and damp build up in the flue.
Larger and newer homes sometimes have stoves fitted into older flues, or tall modern flues, each swept and checked on its own.
For second homes, access can be arranged with a neighbour, agent or keyholder if you are not there when the work is done.
Because some Marsaskala homes are used seasonally, early autumn is the best time to book, before everyone lights the first fire at once.
