About this statute
This regulation applies to fireplaces and flues that require regular sweeping, but not to gas-fired fireplaces or their flues. Fireplaces and flues must be swept at set intervals, mainly yearly, with some longer intervals for certain vacation homes and an exception for open fireplaces and central-heating boiler fireboxes. Chimneys and fireplaces must be swept at an appropriate time, and a fireplace and flue that have been unused for three years must also be swept before being put into use. Nuohoustyön sisältöön kuuluu valmistelu, nuohous, tarkastus, tukkeutuneen hormin avaaminen, savupeltien puhdistus ja nuohousjätteen poisto; työn jälkeen tulisijan, hormien ja ilmanvaihdon on oltava samassa käyttövalmiudessa kuin ennen nuohousta. The certificate given to the site’s representative must list the chimney-sweeping site, who did the sweeping, when it was done, the work carried out, any defects or deficiencies found, and any additional work performed.
