Woodburner Chimney Flue Sweeping

[Frank97]

Good morning,
with the weather getting cooler my Mother is thinking about lighting up the stove so I was wondering if she needs to have the flue swept?
I know the obvious answer is yes, but she only had the liner fitted last October and only burns dry wood, so I was under the impression that it didn't require sweeping every year, am I wrong on this assumption?
She has had the burner for a few years now, but was only told last year that she needed a liner fitting so this is the second winter she'll be using it with one, previously she'd been told that the chimney didn't need it, hence why I'm unsure.
Any advice gratefully received.

Last time I swept my chimney from the wood burner hardly anything came out, and that was after a two year wait.

Would suggest that it doesn't need dong this year, next yer maybe.

Thank you BlueToffee, I'll pass that on to her.

Maybe look at the house insurance as it may stipulate that you need any chimneys swept yearly. Mine does and I need a certificate from a sweep to confirm it. Just means in case of a fire due to the chimney I would be covered.

Thanks, I'll get her to have a look at that.
