How often should I have my chimney swept?

Once a year for open fires and wood burners if you use them regularly; before your first use each season if you only light occasional fires. If you heat with oil or solid fuel, sweep before heating season. An annual service is standard practice to keep your flue safe and clear.

What does a chimney sweep CCTV inspection show?

A CCTV inspection (£85 to £140) records the inside of your flue, revealing blockages, cracks, loose mortar, bird nests or tar buildup that a brush sweep alone might miss. It's especially useful for older properties or chimneys that draw poorly.

Why does a chimney sweep cost different amounts?

Price depends on fuel type (open fires cost less than Aga flues), flue condition, and what extras you add. A basic sweep is £55 to £85; add inspection, bird guard fitting or power sweeping and the total rises. Your sweep will quote based on what they find.

Can I have a chimney swept if there's a bird nest inside?

During breeding season (March to August), nests are protected by law and cannot be removed. Book your sweep for late summer or autumn instead. Outside breeding season, removal costs £75 to £150; many sweeps then fit a bird guard (£65 to £140) to prevent future nesting.

What's the difference between a power sweep and a brush sweep?

A brush sweep clears loose debris and soot. A power sweep (rotary) uses a machine to shift heavy tar, creosote or stubborn buildup that brushing alone won't budge, costing £85 to £140. Your sweep will recommend power sweeping if they see heavy deposits.

Should I use a sweep with a website and insurance?

Yes. A website lets you check methods, accreditations and reviews beforehand. Insurance protects you if damage occurs during work. Most sweeps here have websites; ask about insurance and any trade body memberships (such as HETAS or the Guild of Master Sweeps) when you call.
