When Your Flue Needs Attention Beyond The Annual Sweep

A standard sweep clears soot and debris, but sometimes your chimney needs more. CCTV inspection (£100 to £170) reveals cracks, blockages or structural wear that brushing alone won't fix. Bird nests can cause draught problems and safety hazards; removal runs £90 to £180, and fitting a guard or cowl afterwards (£80 to £170) prevents them returning.

Tar buildup from creosote demands a power sweep (£100 to £170) rather than a standard brush. Damaged pots, leaking mortar and crumbling masonry all shorten the life of your system. Repointing costs £335 to £1120 depending on how much work is needed, while pot replacement ranges from £170 to £450.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires need sweeping 1 to 2 times yearly depending on use. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves should be swept at least once a year, ideally before the heating season. If you use a range cooker or Aga regularly, arrange an annual sweep as well.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV survey (£100 to £170) lets the sweep see inside your flue without dismantling it. It reveals cracks, blockages, bird nests, tar buildup and structural damage that a brush-and-rod sweep can't detect.

Why does my chimney smoke?

Smoking usually means airflow is blocked or restricted. Common causes include soot buildup, bird nests, debris, or a missing or damaged pot. A smoke test (£45 to £80) helps diagnose the issue; your sweep can then recommend removal of blockages, or repairs.

Can I sweep my own chimney?

DIY sweeping risks incomplete work and personal injury from falls or soot inhalation. Professional sweeps have the right equipment and know how to identify problems like cracks or creosote buildup that need follow-up work.

What's the difference between a sweep and an inspection?

A sweep removes soot and debris; an inspection examines the flue's condition. CCTV inspection (£100 to £170) is thorough but more expensive. A smoke or draw test (£45 to £80) checks airflow and can pinpoint draught problems.

How much does chimney repointing cost?

Repointing (regrouting mortar between bricks) costs £335 to £1120 depending on how much of the stack needs work and access difficulty. It's essential if mortar is crumbling or allowing water in, as damage spreads quickly in winter.
