Narre Warren's estates are established now, and so are the wood heaters in them. FreshDuct sweeps flues that have years of work behind them, checks the baffle and seals, and keeps the flue side of gas fireplaces clear.
Bought a Narre Warren home with a wood heater? Treat the flue as unswept until a camera says otherwise.
Narre Warren is not a new suburb any more. The estates that spread across it over recent decades have settled into family neighbourhoods, and the inbuilt and freestanding wood heaters that went into those homes have settled into middle age with them. They sit on steel flues that were modern when fitted and have done a lot of winters since, often under owners who inherited the heater with the house and never had reason to think about the flue.
That history shows in the flue. Creosote from years of evening fires builds in layers up the pipe, the baffle plate above the firebox warps or clogs, door seals go flat and the heater starts to smoke on lighting or burn sullenly with the air wide open. None of that is a fault of the heater; it is the sign of a system that has never been swept and serviced as one.
We treat a Narre Warren heater the way its age deserves. The baffle comes out and is cleaned or noted for replacement, the firebox and glass are done, the flue is swept full length with a rotary head and cameraed for condition, and the cowl is checked from the roof. Gas fireplaces on the same streets get the flue side checked and cleared by us, with the licensed gas specialists we arrange for the appliance itself.
A full sweep and heater check for a Narre Warren wood heater that has done years of winters, and the flue side of a gas fireplace kept clear.
A flue that has never been swept since the house was built carries every winter in layers. We take it back to clean steel with a rotary head, camera the result and photograph it, so the next sweep starts from zero instead of on top of the past.
The baffle plate and door seals are the parts a well-used heater wears out first, and a warped baffle chokes the draw as surely as a dirty flue. We clean and check both during the sweep and tell you plainly if either needs replacing.
Plenty of Narre Warren homes chose a gas fireplace instead, and its flue and terminal still need to be clear. We keep the flue path clean and check the terminal; the appliance itself is handled by the licensed gas specialists we arrange.
Real photos from Melbourne jobs — not stock, not staged.
By the time we have had the baffle out, the flue swept and the camera up the pipe, we know more about a Narre Warren heater than a quick brush ever would. That information comes back to you with the photos, in plain language.
If the heater is fine you are told so. If the baffle is warped or the seals are gone you get a straight answer and a price, not a sales pitch, and the choice is yours.

Assume it has not. We camera the flue first, which shows exactly what is up there, then sweep it to clean steel and photograph it. From then on you have a record and a starting point, and the annual sweep is a much smaller job.
Possibly, or the baffle is clogged and the draw is choked above the firebox. Both are found during the sweep: the baffle comes out and is cleaned, the flue is swept and cameraed, and if a warped baffle or flat door seal is the cause we tell you.
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.
