Yes, it's the law. French departmental health regulations require at least 1 sweep per year for gas flues, and 2 per year for wood and oil (including 1 during the heating season). Without a sweeping certificate, your home insurance may refuse to cover you in case of fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
Fireplace / wood stove sweep: 55 to 75 €. Pellet stove sweep: 75 to 95 €. Creosote removal: from 150 € (depending on flue condition). Camera inspection: 80 €. No hidden fees: travel is included within 40 km of Confolens. Free quote before any work.
Wood / oil: 2 sweeps per year (including 1 during the heating season). Gas: 1 sweep per year. Pellets: 2 sweeps per year recommended. Even if you use your heating sparingly, soot and creosote build up. A clogged flue means fire risk and CO poisoning risk.
The tenant pays for routine sweeping (maintenance charge, decree 87-712). The owner is responsible for the flue's structural condition: lining, compliance, repairs. In short: annual sweep → tenant. Flue work → owner.
1. Protection — floor and fireplace sheeted. 2. Mechanical sweeping — appropriate brush passed through the flue. 3. Vacuum — residues collected with a HEPA filter vacuum. 4. Inspection — visual check of flue and draft. 5. Certificate — issued immediately. Allow 30 to 45 minutes.
Sweeping removes soot (the black, powdery layer). Creosote is a hard, tarry deposit that builds up inside the flue walls over the years. It is highly flammable and cannot be removed by simple sweeping. Creosote removal uses a rotary machine with chain heads that strike and dislodge this crust.
Chimney fire — flammable deposits can ignite inside the flue. Carbon monoxide poisoning — a blocked flue forces toxic fumes back into your home. Voided insurance — without a current certificate, your insurer can refuse to pay. Fine — up to 450 € if inspected.
Qualibat certification, sweeping certificate issued systematically, professional equipment (HEPA vacuum, adapted brushes, protective sheeting), ten-year liability insurance, verifiable Google reviews. At Confolens Ramonage, we tick every box.
