Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Sweeps in Falmouth

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask before booking a sweep.

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 require annual sweeping, usually before winter. Range cookers and Agas are typically swept once yearly. Regular sweeping prevents dangerous blockages and maintains draw.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection reveals cracks, blockages, bird nests, tar buildup, and structural damage inside your flue. The footage helps sweeps spot problems early and advise whether repair or relining is needed. It costs £90 to £155 in Falmouth.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

A sweeping certificate proves your chimney has been professionally cleaned and is safe to use. Your sweep should provide one after the visit. Many insurers and boiler warranties require a valid certificate on file.

What if a bird has nested in my chimney?

Bird nests are protected during nesting season (March to August), so removal isn't possible during that time. Outside season, removal costs £80 to £165. After removal, a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £155 fitted) prevents future nesting.

Can I sweep my chimney myself?

Professional sweeping is safer and more thorough than DIY methods. Sweeps use specialist rods and brushes to reach the full flue length and remove all debris. They also spot damage that home attempts might miss.

What is a smoke test?

A smoke test checks whether your flue draws properly and smoke exits outside rather than leaking into the room. It costs £40 to £70 and is useful if you've noticed poor draft or smoke backing into your home.
