Domestic Chimney Sweeping Service

I am a HETAS and Guild of Master Sweeps registered chimney sweep I am also NVQ qualified

I sweep most domestic style chimneys and flue openings serving lined stoves and open fires found in most homes.

​

This includes a full sweep carried out to national standards and the issuing of an insurance industry-recognized Certificate of Sweeping from the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps. Lined multi fuel stoves, wood burners and lined/unlined open fires all catered for. A full sweep mostly includes a camera inspection ( dependent on accessibility) . Each appointment last approx 1.5 hours.

​

(Please note that if, during the sweep, I discover a bird's nest, then its removal is an extra, chargeable service, see 'bird nest removal' service below.)

Unlined Stoves

These are multi fuel stoves and wood burners which are typically installed into masonry flues without a liner.

​

These types of flues should have sweeping access to conform to regulations

Large Opening / Dog Basket Open Fire

These are usually found in large, older properties including stately homes and homes of local, historical interest including Thatched properties. 

Pre-installation / Flue Closure Sweep

This is a sweep which takes place before a new appliance is fitted. This is to ensure the flue is clear of any remaining soot deposits and, if a liner is being fitted, confirms both a clear passage and determines the length of the flue.

In the event of a flue being closed off, this service helps reduce the risk of damp in the chimney caused by a residual soot deposits in the flue.

Stove Servicing and Maintenance

Servicing covers a range of different aspects, including:

​

• Stove rope replacement

• Glass re-roping

• Fire cement around the top of stove 

• ​We can also supply and fit a new stove glass, firebricks and baffle plates where possible.

Prices vary depending on the make of stove - please inquire for more details.

Bird's Nest Removal

All nest removals include camera inspection to confirm that the flue is clear of debris.

I follow government guidelines with respect to Bird nest removal. This states that nests cant be removed between during the nesting season until 1st Sept, unless the solid fuel appliance is the only form of heating or there is clear evidence that the nest has been abandoned
