Chimney Sweep Foam Block

Chimney Sweep Foam Block

Anyone with a chimney in use knows that it is important to have it swept regularly and one item that may be used during the cleaning process is a chimney sweep foam block. Chimney sweeps will know that using foam is a simple way to prevent dust and soot from falling into the room and most will have foam chimney blocks in their kits to seal an open fire or flue.  Reducing the risk of mess is the main benefit but the blocks also make the job of cleaning a chimney quicker and more efficient.

Foam blocks are easy to use and readily available.  Whilst there are commercial blocking systems, they are simple foam blocks, so easy to make. The most frequently used types consist of one single block with a split or two separate foam blocks pressed together. F.C. Hancox can cut foam to any size so we’re a great company from which to procure foam. We carry a range of inexpensive foams that are perfect to use as chimney sweep foam blocks. Sweeps can measure their existing foam and recreate a block that has served them well or they can carry a range of block sizes to suit any situation. To aid this, the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps has a handy size guide for foam blocks for different types of fireplace, you can view this here. The Guild also recommends a low-density foam, so a general use foam, such as our CMF30H is an option.

Our friendly staff are on hand to answer your questions on the most suitable foam if you are unsure. If you do know the foam you need you can go directly to our foam cut to size page and your new chimney sweep foam block will be with you in no time.
