Sweeping in Godalming.
Godalming sits in the Wey valley with a compact old centre of timber-framed and Georgian buildings, and a spread of substantial Victorian and Edwardian houses on the slopes around it.
The valley floor is damp, and the properties down near the river show it — flues that stay cool, deposits that hold rather than shed, and the tar smell in mild wet weather that always follows. The houses on the higher ground draw better and have fewer of those complaints.
The larger Victorian properties on the slopes tend to have several flues, and it is common to find that only one or two are still in use while the rest have been abandoned in place. Abandoned flues are not harmless — they are still routes through the building, and they still fill with debris and birds.

Bird nests & cowl fitting
Abandoned flues with open pots are exactly what jackdaws are looking for. Capping them properly solves it.
02
Wood burners & multi-fuel stoves
Valley damp and slow-burning stoves produce tar rather than soot, and want sweeping twice a year.
