Professional Chimney Sweeping Services

Regular chimney sweeping prevents dangerous carbon monoxide buildup, reduces chimney fire risk, and maintains heating efficiency. Using both traditional and power sweeping techniques, I provide thorough, mess-free chimney cleaning across all appliance types.

Chimney Sweep Prices:

• Standard chimney sweep: From £65
• Wood burning stove sweep: From £75
• Multi-chimney discount: £10 off second chimney

All sweeps include safety certificate for insurance purposes, smoke test, and professional advice on maintaining your appliance.

How Often Should You Sweep Your Chimney?

Proper maintenance frequency depends on your fuel type:

• Wood burning stoves: At least twice yearly (HETAS recommendation)
• Coal fires: Twice yearly minimum
• Open fires (regular use): Annually
• Gas fires: Annually
• Oil-fired appliances: Annually

Regular sweeping removes dangerous soot, creosote, and tar buildup that can ignite, causing devastating chimney fires. I provide reminder services to help you maintain proper schedules.

Specialist Chimney Services

CCTV Chimney Inspections

Modern CCTV technology reveals hidden problems inside your chimney that traditional sweeping can’t detect. My camera surveys identify structural issues, tar buildup, blockages, and deterioration, providing visual evidence and detailed reports.

CCTV Inspection Benefits:

• Identifies hidden structural problems
• Detects dangerous tar and creosote buildup
• Locates bird nests and blockages
• Assesses flue liner condition
• Provides visual documentation for insurance
• Helps plan necessary repairs

Perfect for property purchases, persistent smoking problems, or peace of mind about chimney condition.

Cre-Away Tar & Creosote Treatment

Tar and creosote buildup causes chimney fires and reduces efficiency. I’m fully qualified in Cre-Away application—a specialist chemical treatment that safely removes dangerous deposits from chimney flues, particularly valuable after chimney fires or years of buildup.

Bird Nest & Vermin Removal

Birds frequently nest in chimneys during spring and summer, creating dangerous blockages. I safely remove bird nests and vermin, then fit cowls and bird guards to prevent future problems.

Cowl & Bird Guard Services:

• Professional cowl supply and fitting
• Bird guard installation
• Anti-downdraught cowls
• Pot replacement and repairs

Chimney Repairs & Maintenance

Minor chimney repairs prevent major problems. I handle:
