Beyond Basic Sweeping: CCTV Inspections, Bird Nests and Flue Work

Most Hampshire sweeps offer far more than a simple brush and rod. CCTV inspections (£100 to £170) reveal blockages, structural damage and nesting birds before they cause problems. If you've got a cowl that needs replacing or a bird guard installing, expect to pay £80 to £170. Tar buildup in older chimneys may require a power sweep (£100 to £170), while range cookers and Agas need specialist flue sweeping at £90 to £135.

Larger jobs, lining a flue, repointing a stack or replacing a chimney pot, demand more time and materials. Many sweeps can arrange these, though prices scale quickly. Ask whether your chosen sweep offers bird nest removal (£90 to £180) or smoke testing (£45 to £80), particularly useful if you're troubleshooting drafts or smell.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you burn wood, oil or solid fuel, sweep annually before winter. Gas fires need sweeping less often, check your appliance's manual or ask your sweep. Chimneys used daily in peak season may need mid-winter cleaning too.

Do I need a CCTV inspection or just a standard sweep?

A standard sweep works for routine maintenance if your chimney draws well and you've no signs of blockage. A CCTV inspection (£100 to £170) is worth the cost if you're buying a property, notice drafts, smell smoke indoors, or suspect a bird nest or debris.

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

A brush sweep suits clean chimneys; a power or rotary sweep (£100 to £170) tackles heavy tar, soot buildup or stubborn blockages. Your sweep will advise which suits your chimney.

Can a chimney sweep remove a bird's nest?

Yes, but timing matters. Bird nests are protected during breeding season, so sweeps may need to wait until late summer or autumn. Removal costs £90 to £180; fitting a bird guard afterwards (£80 to £170) prevents future nesting.

What should I check before booking a Hampshire sweep?

Confirm they're insured, ask if they provide a sweeping certificate, and check their availability, 37 Hampshire sweeps open Saturdays. Get a quote for your specific appliance: open fires, stoves and range cookers cost different amounts.

What happens if my chimney needs lining or repointing?

Most sweeps can advise on lining or repointing work. A flexible flue liner costs £1,010 to £2,465 fitted; chimney stack repointing runs £335 to £1,120. Ask your sweep for a site visit quote if structural work is suspected.
