Chimney & stove cleaning in Mellieħa
Mellieħa in the north has a mix of villas, farmhouses and larger family homes, many with a fireplace or wood burner. A number are second or holiday homes used mainly in the cooler months, so the fire may sit idle for most of the year.
Chimney and stove cleaning in Mellieħa
A fireplace or stove used only in winter still needs a sweep before the season. Months of disuse are exactly when nests, debris and damp build up in the flue.
Villas and larger homes here sometimes have tall or multiple flues, each swept and checked on its own.
For holiday homes, access can be arranged with a neighbour, agent or keyholder if you are not on the island when the work is done.
Because many northern homes are used seasonally, early autumn is the busiest and best time to book, before everyone lights the first fire at once. Reserving a preferred month is the surest way to get a slot.
