During spring, you will have more chance of getting availability from fitters. In summer, everyone will be having their de facto 2 week holiday in the sun and therefore you may encounter limited availability. Also, if you need your chimney sweeping or some building work, it will be warmer outside and easier to perform. Don't forget to only use HETAS registered fitters.

Of course, the weather is a major factor. Getting a chimney swept, having building work or opening a fireplace will all create dust and dirt. Spring is ideal as the weather is mild and you can easily get everything cleaned up and opening your windows and doors. And if something does go wrong, you can live without the fire as you won't freeze!
