We've been in the business since 1957!

Having your chimney swept regularly is not just a matter of keeping things neat, clean and tidy (although of course that is certainly part of our service!). It’s a matter of safety. 


So what happens if you don’t have it swept often enough?

Over time a build up of soot, tar and creosote can form inside the flue. Smoke will be less able to escape through the chimney, potentially causing high levels of carbon monoxide (an infamously lethal and odourless gas) to blow back into the room.


Excessive amounts of soot in a flue greatly increase the risk chimney fires and soot falls. Either of these can cause expensive damage to a building, making regular sweeping not only safe but also cost effective!


How often should you have your chimney swept?

We say at least once a year, although this may differ depending on the fuel that you burn. Wood-burning stoves may need a twice-yearly clean.

Chimney sweeping services

We operate a vacuum-assisted chimney sweep service with brushes and a rotary sweeping system, which removes soot and debris from the flue. Effective sealing methods and a powerful vacuum cleaner ensure this is removed, resulting in a clean fireplace, safe chimney and a clean room.


We have specialist sweeping heads for better removing bird nests, nesting birds will return to the same chimneys in following years so bird guards are essential after removing a nest.


We advise on and clean chimneys for the following:

  • Inglenook chimneys
  • AGAs
  • Rayburns
  • Open fires
  • Wood burners


CCTV chimney surveys


We also operate a CCTV survey service, which is often called upon by insurance companies in the event of a problem with the chimney - such as a collapse or a fire.


What other chimney services can we offer?
