Quick stove/chimney sweep question

SG27

When you have a woodburning stove and get the chimney swept do you have to move the stove out the way in preparation or will the sweep do it all?

Thanks.

Once a stove is installed there really shouldn't be a need to move it. It should be sweep able from inside

As suki said, the stove should be able to be swept without moving it. If it needs to be moved, then the bottom line is that it's not been installed properly, or in accordance with the building regs for that matter.

Great thanks very much!
