There are vacuums that can handle some hot embers, sometimes they are 2 parts with a water trap in between. This vac does not look to be great for hot ash. I'm not sure what is sold in the UK. If that is what you are looking for, contact some local sweeps, and ask what they use.

If you only want to use it for cleanup on a stone-cold stove with most all of the ash scooped out, then look for a vac that you can add a drywall dust filter to. Wood ash is fine and can pass through or clog the ordinary shop vac filter.

Power smith works well for me. Extra long hose optional but is very helpful. I find it can pick up an isolated glowing ember but you can’t get lax with this bc it ends up burning/damage the filter.
