In any case, Fremantle limestone is likewise rather delicate and generally permeable, so it requires care from the householder to forestall stains and dirty imprints ruining the surface – particularly for new limestone chimneys!

A couple of significant focuses for first time purchasers!

Your limestone chimney ought to be synthetically fixed with a decent quality sealant. The better sealants don’t change the shade of the limestone to any degree yet keep simple infiltration of potential stains from getting into the stone. Your chimney provider ought to either seal your chimney for you, (most likely at additional expense) or give a tin of fluid sealant for you to cover up the surface yourself (likewise presumably at additional expense). These sealants cost around £20 or more per ton, so on the off chance that you see one for considerably less, don’t utilize it, as it may not be enough, and could obscure your limestone chimney shading!

On the off chance that you have a limestone hearth, this ought to be fixed twice. Leave the primary coat to totally dry and afterward include the second. Ensure you don’t have any significant bearing a lot of sealer, as this could make a change the surface whenever doused!

You may need to rehash the total fixing process after around a half year or a year, particularly if the chimney is for strong fuel. From that point forward, your limestone chimney will likely not require any further synthetic fixing.

Cleaning Limestone Chimneys

Try not to splash the stone however! On the off chance that you have espresso or wine and so on, spill onto your limestone chimney surface don’t freeze, simply clear it off altogether with a hosed fabric and everything ought to be fine.
