The wood heater in a Noble Park home was usually installed by an owner two or three before you, and nobody can say when the flue was last done. FreshDuct looks first, sweeps second and photographs both.
Bought or rented a Noble Park place with a heater in it? Assume the flue is overdue until a camera says otherwise.
Noble Park heats on wood heaters and slow-combustion fires fitted into post-war weatherboard and brick-veneer homes, often decades ago, and on villa units where the flue shares a roofline with the neighbours. Very few of these homes still have an open fireplace in use. So a chimney sweep here is a steel flue sweep, and the first question is not how dirty it is but what has been going up it and for how long.
That is why a Noble Park sweep begins with the camera. A flue that has only ever burned dry, seasoned hardwood carries loose soot that brushes out easily. One that has been fed pallet offcuts, painted timber or treated fence posts, which we see here more than we would like, carries a hard, corrosive deposit that eats the steel and needs a rotary head worked through it rather than a light brush. The camera tells us which we have before we start.
The sweep itself runs from the baffle to the cowl with the heater door sealed and the vacuum on, then the baffle, door seals and firebox are checked while the heater is apart. On a villa unit with a shared roofline, roof access is arranged with the agent or owners corporation first. Before and after photos come with the job, along with a plain answer on whether the heater is safe to run.
A cameraed and swept heater flue for a Noble Park home or villa unit, baffle to cowl, with the deposit identified before brushing and the result photographed.
Nobody in a home that has changed hands can tell you how the heater was run. We put the camera up before the brush so we know whether the flue holds loose soot or a hard deposit, and we sweep it the way that deposit needs.
Painted, treated and scrap timber leave a hard, corrosive coating on a Noble Park flue that an ordinary sweep skates over. We work a rotary head through it and tell you honestly if the steel underneath has been damaged.
Several flues through one roofline, and a roof that belongs to more than one owner, is normal in Noble Park. We arrange access through the agent or owners corporation before the visit so the top of the flue gets done, not skipped.

Plenty of Noble Park heaters are in rental homes, and the sweep is often booked by an agent who will never see the flue. The camera photos before and after go to whoever booked it, so the condition of the flue is on record rather than a matter of memory.
If the deposit shows the heater has been fed the wrong fuel, or the baffle is burnt through, that goes in the photos too. Nobody is sold a repair from a sweep, and nobody is told a flue is fine when it is not.

Both on one visit, with the camera first. We look up the flue to see what has been burned in it, sweep it the way that deposit needs, check the baffle and seals, and give you photos of it before and after so you know what you have inherited.
Yes. Shared rooflines are common here and most of the sweep is done from inside at the heater. For the top of the flue and the cowl we arrange roof access with the managing agent or owners corporation ahead of the visit.
Fire authorities recommend an annual sweep before winter. If you burn most nights, burn unseasoned or soft wood, or run a heater on low for long periods, sooner.
Not with FreshDuct. We lay drop sheets, seal the fireplace opening and use contained, high-power vacuuming so the soot is captured rather than left in your living room.
A standard sweep clears regular soot and light creosote. A deep clean tackles heavy, baked-on or glazed creosote that a normal brush will not shift.
