My name is Paddy McKeown, I am a retired police officer (Detective Sergeant – Metropolitan Police), turned chimney sweep. I have completed training with ‘The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps’, and Rod Tech UK (Power Sweeping).
I recently came across this Saltfire ST2 5Kw Multi-Fuel Stove at an address in Haverhill. It was not a stove that I was familiar with, and I was keen to find out more about the stove and the company that made it. I was also keen to find out how it had ended up being installed in a house in Haverhill and initially, how it came apart so that I could access the flue to sweep it. I do a lot of sweeping work in Haverhill and had not come across any Saltfire stoves let alone this particular model. Speaking to the customer it transpired that the customer had selected and bought the stove online and then had it installed by Cut Maple Fires and Stoves from Sturmer: https://www.fireplacesetc.co.uk/
