Aga & Rayburn Flue Sweeping in North Devon – Ensure Safe, Efficient Operation

When was the last time your Aga or Rayburn flue was professionally swept? If you’re in South Molton, Winkleigh, Chulmleigh, Umberleigh, or anywhere across North Devon, our expert team at Jad Mottram Plumbing and Heating offers thorough flue sweeping and safety inspections as part of our trusted Aga and Rayburn servicing.

A clean, unobstructed flue is essential for the safe and efficient operation of your oil- or gas-fired range cooker. Blocked or partially blocked flues can lead to poor performance, smoke issues, and even dangerous carbon monoxide build up.

Real-World Example: Flue Cleaning in South Molton

During a recent service in South Molton, we discovered a flue that hadn’t been cleaned in over 10 years. It was heavily clogged with dog hair and dust, drawn up through the burner door over time. As part of our remedial work, we:

• ✅ Swept and cleared the flue

• ✅ Replaced the flue terminal

• ✅ Installed a flue sensing safety device

• ✅ Fitted a carbon monoxide alarm in the kitchen for added protection

This is a prime example of how routine flue inspections can prevent serious safety risks and costly repairs down the line.

Common Flue Blockage Causes

Several factors can lead to a blocked or obstructed Aga/Rayburn flue, including:

• 🪺 Bird nests in unused or uncapped chimneys

• 🧱 Rubble or debris from deteriorating chimney structures

• 🔥 Soot build-up from inefficient burning or poor ventilation

• ❌ Incorrect flue terminals or caps restricting airflow

Whether your Aga or Rayburn runs on gas or oil, flue sweeping is a crucial part of your appliance’s health and safety.
