How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners should be swept at least once a year, ideally before the heating season starts. If you use your stove or fireplace heavily, or burn wet wood, more frequent sweeping may be needed. Your sweep can advise based on how much soot builds up.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection lets your sweep see inside the flue without dismantling anything. It reveals blockages, cracks, loose mortar, or bird nests that a standard sweep might miss. It costs more than a basic sweep but gives you a clear picture of your chimney's condition.

Why is my chimney blocked?

Common causes include soot and tar buildup, bird nests, fallen bricks or mortar, or debris from outside. Your sweep can clear the blockage and identify what caused it so you can prevent it happening again.

Do I need a certificate after my chimney is swept?

Yes. A professional sweep will issue a sweeping certificate as proof the work was done. Keep this for your insurance and records, as some insurers require evidence of regular chimney maintenance.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, most sweeps offer bird nest removal. If nesting birds are present during breeding season, removal is restricted by law, so timing matters. Your sweep can advise on the best time to clear the nest safely.

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

A sweep cleans out soot and blockages. An inspection (usually by CCTV) checks the flue's condition and spotting damage. Many homeowners get both done together for a complete health check.
