How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners need sweeping at least once a year, ideally before each heating season. If you use your stove heavily, you might sweep twice yearly. Range cookers and Agas typically need an annual sweep too. Your sweep can advise based on how often you use the appliance.

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

A sweep removes soot, debris and creosote buildup using brushes and rods. An inspection, especially with CCTV, checks the condition of the flue itself, looking for cracks, blockages, bird nests, or damage. Many sweeps combine both in one visit.

Do I need a certificate after my chimney is swept?

Yes. A sweeping certificate confirms your chimney has been professionally cleaned and is safe to use. It's important for insurance and safety records. Your sweep will provide this after completing the work.

What's a power sweep and when do I need one?

A power sweep uses a rotary brush to tackle heavy tar and creosote buildup that standard brushes can't shift. If your chimney hasn't been swept for years or you've burned a lot of wet wood, a power sweep (£90 to £155) may be needed before a standard sweep can finish the job.

Can the sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, but timing matters. Bird nests are legally protected during nesting season (roughly March to August). Outside that period, sweeps can remove nests and fit guards or cowls (£70 to £155) to prevent birds returning.

Why should I get a smoke test done?

A smoke or draw test (£40 to £70) checks whether your chimney is working efficiently and drawing properly. It spots problems like poor draft, which can mean fumes don't escape safely. It's especially useful if you've noticed smoke in the room or smell coming from the chimney.
