You will get a confirmation email first — click the link in it and you are on the list. If it does not arrive, check your spam folder.
What you will actually get
An autumn reminder before burn season, with the short list worth checking before the first fire — the state of the flue, whether the damper still moves freely, and whether there is still a cap up there.
A spring note about water damage. Spring is when the freeze-thaw cracks that opened over winter start showing themselves as ceiling stains, damp brick and white chalky streaking. Catching those early is the difference between a crown coating and a crown rebuild.
Occasional practical pieces. How to tell seasoned firewood from wet without a meter. What a home inspector means by “recommend evaluation by a qualified chimney professional”. Why a dryer that needs two cycles is a fire warning rather than an annoyance.
That is the whole thing — a handful of emails a year from a three-person company in Geneva, written by the people who do the work.
What we will not do
We do not sell or share the list. There is no third party involved in sending it.
We do not email you to sell a service you have not asked about. Seasonal reminders and practical information, not offers.
You can unsubscribe from any email with one click and we do not ask why. If you would rather not sign up at all, everything ends up on the blog anyway, and the DIY guide collects the practical material in one place.
How we handle your details is set out in the privacy policy.
Would rather just talk to someone?
Seven days a week, 7am to 8pm. No sign-up required.
