Sweeping in Midhurst.
Midhurst is an old market town in the South Downs, and its centre carries a genuine concentration of timber-framed and early brick buildings. Where a flue runs through or alongside historic timber, the margin for a defect is smaller than in a masonry-built house, because what is on the other side of a breach will burn.
The surrounding countryside is heavily wooded, which shapes the work in two ways. Wood is the fuel of choice for most households here, and a lot of it is cut locally — which is excellent when it has been seasoned properly for two years and a genuine problem when it has been split last winter and burned this one. Unseasoned timber is the single biggest cause of the tar deposits that start chimney fires.
The woodland also brings the birds. Jackdaws are abundant across this part of the Downs, and an uncapped pot on a Midhurst chimney is an open invitation come March.

Wood burners & multi-fuel stoves
Locally cut wood is often burned before it is properly seasoned, and that puts tar in the flue faster than anything else.
06
Smoke-draw & integrity testing
In a timber-framed building, proving the flue is sound matters more than it does in solid masonry.
