Today, the Hodgsons Chimney Sweeps team were hard at work in North Wales, carrying out a full commercial biomass flue sweeping on a large-scale system. These kinds of jobs are all about ensuring performance, safety, and long-term reliability — especially for high-output commercial biomass boilers.
🌱 Why Biomass Flue Systems Need Regular Sweeping
Biomass heating systems are efficient and environmentally friendly, but they aren’t maintenance-free. Over time, ash, soot, and particulate matter build up inside the flue and combustion chambers. If left unchecked, this can lead to:
- Reduced system performance
- Blockages that trigger shutdowns
- Increased fire risk from combustible deposits
- Excessive wear on internal components
That’s why professional sweeping is vital — not just for system health, but for compliance with manufacturer warranties and safety regulations.
🧹 What We Did Today
This North Wales site runs a commercial-scale biomass boiler, and our task was to carry out a full sweep of the flue system. Using our industrial-grade sweeping tools and extraction systems, we:
✅ Removed all soot, ash, and residue from the flue
✅ Cleared internal pathways to restore full airflow
✅ Carried out a full clean of the base sections and flue walling
✅ Checked for signs of wear or damage around key access points
The system is now running cleaner, safer, and more efficiently — ready for continued operation with minimal downtime.
🧰 Equipment Used
We brought in our high-powered rotary sweeping tools and HEPA-rated extraction systems to ensure a thorough and clean job. For large commercial sites like this one, precision and power matter — and we always come prepared.
