What we sweep

Every job includes a free smoke draw test and a NACS Certificate of Chimney Sweeping.

Multi fuel stoves

From £75

Efficient stoves run cooler flues, so deposits build faster than owners expect.

Open fires

From £75

Wide, often unlined flues that soot up quickly and need proper attention.

Woodburners

Twice a season

Wood is the fuel most likely to leave tar. We will tell you if your logs are the problem.

Coal burners

Twice a year

Bituminous coal is the heaviest sooting fuel in common use.

Bird nest removal

Jackdaws mostly

A nest is a total blockage and a carbon monoxide risk. Hear anything up there? Do not light the fire.

CCTV inspections and alarms

Camera surveys of chimneys, flues and liners, plus carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms supplied and fitted.

Brilliant from start to finish, rang barkers chimney sweep and he came round the next day. Steve was brilliant with giving advice about a poorly fitted log burner, advised that it's removed, even helped with the removal when he didn't need to. I would recommend this company to anyone who is in need of a chimney Sweeper.

Steve came to sweep our chimey and assess the condition of our stove. He arrived promptly, was incredibly knowledgeable and was able to offer us in depth advice about the condition of our chimney, liner, cap and stove as well as the best place for our Carbon Monoxide alarm to be placed. This included him sending a camera up the flue and showing us any areas of concern. We will be using Steve annually going forward. 10/10 couldn't rate higher.

Easy to book in, competitive price, and left the house as it was with no dust at all. Steve was on time, friendly and very informative. I'm sure many firms could do an efficient sweep but I'm not sure all would have the experience and willingness to take the extra time to impart it that Steve does. He talks you through the whole process and provides lots of useful advice about things like fuels, storage, cleaning the stove and hearth etc. Very trustworthy. Highly recommended.

Common questions

Our sweeps start from £75, which includes a free smoke draw test and a NACS Certificate of Chimney Sweeping. The price depends on the appliance and how many flues need doing — tell us your postcode and what you have and we will give you a figure before we come out.

Once a season for wood on an open fire, twice a season for a wood burning stove, twice a year on bituminous coal, and at least once a year on smokeless fuel, oil or gas.

No. We use a high-powered HEPA filtered industrial vacuum running throughout the job, along with sheets to protect the room. Our customers regularly say they would never have known we had been.

Make sure the fire has been out for at least 24 hours so the flue is properly cold, and clear the area around the fireplace. If the chimney has not been swept in a long time, tell us when you book so we can allow the time.
