Lockdown rules seem to be changing with freedoms being rolled out by the Government now and even more expected in due course after weeks of isolating because of the coronavirus. – James the Sweep is getting back to work this Monday but keeping the situation under review for the welfare of customers.

Even so, it’s hard to keep up with the latest goings-on and work out the changing rules. Some scientists don’t seem happy about the proposed ease of restrictions. It makes for a not-clear conclusion. As a general rule, common sense should prevail as things slowly ‘get back to normal’.

What’s nice to see is that people in the Tunbridge Wells area are getting on with life as best they can. Thanks to the internet, we’re able to communicate across the wider community: messaging family and friends, highlighting the efforts of frontline workers, checking on the welfare of each other. Tradesmen’s services are also needed, as much as ever. At the moment, it looks as though trades will be fully back in July but that’s not set in stone. Some tradesmen are already back at work or scheduling appointments – such as James.

That is why it’s important to keep in touch in these strange times with your local chimney sweep: James the Sweep, Master Sweep for Tunbridge Wells and nearby areas (Tonbridge, Southborough, Maidstone, Sevenoaks, etc.).

If you suspect your chimney needs a sweep or you’re worried about keeping the structure in good order, just talk to James about it. Chimneys need to be kept clean of soot blockages, which can lead to carbon monoxide entering a home and poisoning inhabitants. There is also a risk of dangerous chimney fires if chimneys are not regulary maintenanced by a professional flue technician, such as James the Sweep.

James can provide free advice over the phone. It’s also a good idea to keep up a conversation with him so that when the lockdown fully eases – you can make a chimney sweeping appointment in time (demand is expected to be high), if you haven’t already done so. Chimneys need care all-year round and just because there are restrictions, that doesn’t mean that James is not interested in your situation. Talk to James about your chimney, plan with him as to when a sweeping appointment will be best (even if it is a general timescale). Keep up that conversation!
