About: chimney sweep
A chimney sweep clears soot and tar from chimneys, flue pipes, fireplaces and wood or pellet stoves, checks the draught and spots cracks or blockages. They are most in demand in the north and in any house heated with wood, and everyone tends to call at the start of the heating season. Regular sweeping lowers the risk of a chimney fire and smoke coming back into the room.
Frequently asked questions
How often should a chimney be swept?
It depends on the fuel and how much you burn; many sweeps suggest at least once a year before winter, more often with daily use or damp wood. Ask what they recommend for your stove.
When is the best time to book?
Late summer or early autumn, before the rush. In winter sweeps are at their busiest.
How can I tell my chimney is blocked?
Weak draught, smoke puffing back into the room, a strong soot smell or a fire that struggles to burn are common signs. Stop using it until someone checks.
What affects the price?
Chimney height and access (roof or attic), how many stoves are connected, how much build-up there is, and whether a camera inspection or repair is needed. Ask about call-out fees in advance.
How do I prepare for the visit?
Don't light the stove for several hours beforehand so it's cool, and clear the area around it and the cleaning hatch. Make sure the attic or roof can be reached if needed.
