Services

Chimney Sweep service is suitable for most domestic properties with wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, and open fires.

This service includes:

• Visual check of the chimney terminal (from ground level where accessible)

• Full chimney sweep, using power sweeping or manual methods depending on the type and condition of the flue

• Smoke evacuation check to ensure the flue is drawing correctly

• Visual inspection of stove or fire components, including seals, baffles, and firebox condition

• Clean, professional service using dust sheets and industrial vacuum equipment

• NACS certificate of sweeping issued on completion (for insurance and warranty purposes)

Typical appointment time: 45 - 60 minutes

Birds’ nests can block a chimney completely, preventing smoke and fumes from escaping and creating a serious carbon monoxide risk. They are most commonly found in unused or rarely used chimneys.

This service includes:

• Safe removal of bird’s nests and debris from the flue

• Full chimney sweep following nest removal

• Smoke evacuation check to confirm the flue is clear and drawing correctly

• Visual inspection of the flue and appliance

• Advice on fitting a bird guard to prevent future nesting

• NACS certificate issued on completion

Bird’s nests are only removed when no active nesting is present, in line with UK wildlife law. (September - Febuary)

CCTV chimney inspections are available only after a full chimney sweep and are charged as a £15 surcharge.

The inspection is carried out once the flue has been cleaned to ensure:

• Clear visibility of the flue condition

• Accurate identification of defects or blockages

• Reliable advice based on the true state of the chimney

Any findings will be explained clearly, and advice given where issues are identified.

CCTV inspections cannot be carried out on unswept chimneys.

During a chimney sweep, minor issues are sometimes identified that can be rectified on the spot. Subject to condition and customer approval, the following sundries and small remedial works can be carried out.

Available sundries include:

• Replacement fire bricks

• Vermiculite replacement or top-up

• Rope seal replacement (stove doors, glass seals)

• Re-cementing flue joints where minor deterioration is found

Important information

• All sundries are charged separately from the chimney sweep

• Prices depend on materials required and time involved

• Any work will be explained and agreed before proceeding

• This service covers minor repairs only — structural issues or major defects will be advised on but not undertaken

​

Minor remedial works are carried out only where safe and appropriate and do not replace the need for specialist repairs if major defects are found.
