Professional tumble dryer vent cleaning - lint buildup removed from the entire vent system. Airflow restored, fire risk reduced, and your dryer working efficiently again.
### The Hidden Fire Hazard
Tumble dryer vents clog with lint over time. **Your filter catches most, but some escapes into the vent hose and builds up.** Eventually, airflow drops and fire risk rises.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** If your dryer takes longer than it used to, or the machine runs hot, the vent is probably restricted. Don't ignore it.

Frequently Asked Questions about Tumble dryer vent cleaning in Ottery St Mary
Why do vents need cleaning?
Lint escapes the filter and builds up in the vent hose and external vent. Over time, airflow reduces, drying takes longer, and fire risk increases. Blocked vents are a genuine fire hazard.
How often should vents be cleaned?
Annually for most households. More often if you use the dryer heavily. Signs it's needed: longer drying times, hot machine, burning smell, or visible lint at external vent.
Can blocked vents damage the dryer?
Yes - makes the machine work harder, overheat, and wear out faster. Motors fail, thermostats trip, and energy bills rise. Prevention is cheaper than repair.
Is it really a fire risk?
Yes. Lint is extremely flammable. Hot air plus lint buildup equals fire hazard. It's a common cause of house fires. Worth taking seriously.
