A small fire in a big flue
A flue sized for a large fireplace can be far too big for a small fire. The smoke slows down and spreads out, cools on the wide walls and leaves more deposits along the way. Both the flue and the fireplace opening get measured before we recommend anything.
Removing the glaze is the first step. If the flue is oversized for how the fireplace is used, the lasting fix is a liner sized to the fire, which we price separately so you can decide.

How rotary removal works
Rotary removal uses flexible rods driven by a drill, with a head on the end that spins inside the flue. The head may carry chains, cable whips or cutting tips, each more aggressive than the last.
The head is run through the flue in passes, starting gentle and stepping up only as needed, while debris falls into the sealed firebox below. Between passes we check progress with a light. The aim is bare tile with the least force that gets there, because every step up in aggression is a step up in risk to the liner.
Treatments applied over a series of fires
Other treatments work with fires. They are sprayed onto the glaze or added to the fire according to the label, and heat from normal burning helps convert the glaze into a softer, flaky deposit that a brush can remove at the next visit.
These take time, and the label decides how the fireplace is used in between. We hand over those instructions in writing and book the follow-up sweep. The advantage is gentleness on the liner. The trade-off is patience, which is why they suit some flues and not others. We check the flue at the follow-up and brush out what has changed before deciding whether another round is needed.
Checking the liner before choosing a method
The liner decides the method. A sound clay tile flue can take rotary work. A clay flue with cracks or open joints needs a gentler route. A stainless liner follows its maker's cleaning instructions.
So before removal starts, we look at what we can see of the liner through the glaze: the top tiles from the roof, the bottom section from the firebox, and any places where the glaze is thin. Where the liner type or condition is uncertain, we choose the gentler method and say why. Nothing aggressive goes up a flue we have not assessed.
