Sweeping in Blandford Forum.
Blandford Forum burned down in 1731 and was rebuilt, more or less complete, over the following two decades. The result is one of the most coherent Georgian towns in England — a town centre built to a single vision within a single generation.
For a sweep that means a remarkable consistency of flue. Tall, narrow, brick-built, all of an age, all put up by builders working to the same conventions. The recurring issue is simply the passage of time: nearly three hundred years of thermal cycling opens mortar joints, and internal parging that was applied in the 1730s has rarely survived intact.
The surrounding Blackmore Vale villages are a different proposition entirely — cob, thatch, and properties well off the gas network where solid fuel is genuine heating rather than an amenity.

05
CCTV flue inspection
Georgian flues with failed parging want looking at before a new appliance is connected to them.
