Why Do I Need My Chimney Swept?

Ware chimney sweepBurning fossil fuel (Wood, Coal etc.) produces soot, creosote and tar. Some of these substances will cling to the inside of the chimney lining, and over time the flue will become congested or even blocked completely.

This affects the way that your fire or stove performs, producing less heat and allowing smoke to enter the room and it also stops dangerous gases such as carbon monoxide from exiting the flue, presenting a significant and potentially fatal health risk to you and your family.

There is also the risk of a chimney fire when deposits are allowed to build up in the flue. Chimney flues and pots are also popular nesting places for birds and even squirrels, another cause of blockages.

How often should my chimney be swept?

This varies depending on the type of fuel you use. The general guidance is once a year for smokeless fuel, oil and gas, and quarterly for wood and bituminous coal. That said, if the fire or stove is used a lot, it may be wise to arrange an additional sweep.

How Much Does It Cost?

We charge £60 for a standard sweep of a domestic chimney or stove with a lined flue.

Stoves with unlined flues, flues with additional access points, inglenooks or other “non standard” fireplaces or appliances start from £75.

Removal of nests start from £125 and would depend on time taken and whether A CCTV inspection is required after sweeping.

Please note that we will always advise and explain re additional charges and no work is undertaken without the consent of the homeowner
