Not a make of stove that I have featured before in my weekly blog, and yet I do see quite a few Dunsley Stoves around the local area. Usually, the Dunsley’s I do see are the more modern, contemporary models that they manufacture. However, on this occasion I am focusing on this example of a Dunsley Highlander 5 Multi-Fuel Stove that I recently swept at a thatched property in Little Sampford. As can be seen from the photograph the Dunsley Highlander is a more traditional stove design and is a model of stove that Dunsley have been making for many, many years. So we can safely say that it is a tried and trusted design. I also wanted to include it in my blog as the stove was particularly dirty. Indeed, it a had a tar blockage in the flue which I had to remove. As can be seen in one of the photographs, the material I swept down the chimney filled the stove and flue pipe up to and beyond the inspection hatch. Alarmingly, the customer told me another sweep had been to the address a few weeks previously and swept the chimney and failed to remove all these deposits. All the more reason to use a properly qualified and insured chimney sweep to do the work rather than the cheaper fly-by night operators who are out there working with the minimum if any training and no liability or indemnity insurance.
