Open Fires, Wood Burners And Range Cookers In Emsworth

Most sweeps in the area can handle open fires, wood burners, multi-fuel stoves, range cookers and Agas. A standard sweep clears the flue of soot and creosote; if tar has hardened inside, a power sweep (rotary brush) may be needed, costing £100 to £170. You'll receive a sweeping certificate afterwards, which your buildings insurer may ask to see.

Some sweeps also offer annual servicing for wood burners, combining a clean with a full inspection and safety check. If you have more than one flue, a second clean on the same visit typically costs £35 to £55.

CCTV Inspection And Flue Surveys In PO10

A CCTV chimney inspection (£100 to £170) sends a camera up your flue to spot cracks, blockages, bird nests, loose pots and other damage you can't see from ground level. It's especially useful if you're not sure whether your chimney is usable, or after you've bought a property. The camera feed is recorded so you can review the results.

If the survey reveals a problem, collapsed mortar, a cracked liner, or a blocked nest, your sweep can advise on the next step and often carry out repairs the same day or arrange a follow-up visit.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners should be swept at least once a year before the heating season. Oil and gas appliances need sweeping less often, typically every 2 years, but check your installer's guidance. A professional can advise based on how much you use your chimney.

What does a chimney sweep certificate prove?

A sweeping certificate is a record that your chimney has been professionally cleaned and is free of blockages. Your buildings insurer may request it as proof of maintenance, especially for wood-burning appliances.

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

A sweep cleans out soot and creosote; an inspection (usually via CCTV) examines the flue's condition. A sweep often spots obvious issues, but a CCTV survey gives a detailed, recorded view of any cracks, damage or nests inside.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest?

Yes, most sweeps can remove nests. However, if birds are actively nesting (roughly March to August), you may need to wait until the season ends. After removal, a guard or cowl fitted to the pot prevents birds from returning.

Why does my chimney need repointing?

The mortar between chimney bricks weathers over time, letting rain in and weakening the structure. Repointing replaces old mortar and stops water damage, which is especially important in exposed chimneys.

What is a flexible flue liner?

A flexible liner is a stainless steel tube fitted inside an old or damaged flue to restore it safely. It's used when the original flue is cracked, too narrow, or unsuitable for a modern appliance.
