How Much Does a Chimney Sweep Cost in Havant?

Chimney sweep costs in Havant depend on what you need done and the type of appliance you're servicing. A basic sweep of an open fire runs £65 to £100, while wood burners and multi-fuel stoves cost £75 to £105. CCTV inspections to check for blockages and damage fall between £100 to £170. More involved work such as chimney pot replacement (£170 to £450) or flexible flue liner installation (£1010 to £2465) will be at the higher end. Most sweeps provide a quote before starting, so ask what's included and whether they offer discounts for multiple appliances on the same visit.

When Havant Sweeps Are Busiest And How To Book Ahead

All four Havant sweeps have good customer reviews, with TJ. Chimney Sweep and Joanna Thurgur Chimney Sweep Services both well-established locally. The busiest months for sweeping are September through December, when homeowners rush to prepare before the heating season. Booking in late spring or early summer gives you the choice of appointment times and lets the sweep fit you in without pressure.

Three of the four sweeps are open on Saturdays, which can make scheduling easier if you work during the week. Check whether your chosen sweep offers online booking or prefers a phone call. Ask them about their availability when you first contact them, especially if you need work done before October.

  • Book between May and August to beat the autumn rush
  • Three sweeps offer Saturday appointments
  • Confirm availability early if you need autumn work

What A CCTV Inspection Can Reveal About Your Havant Chimney

A CCTV inspection costs £100 to £170 and shows you exactly what's inside your chimney, blockages, cracks, loose mortar, bird nests or debris that a standard sweep might miss. The camera feed lets the sweep identify problems before they become expensive repairs. This is especially useful if you're buying a property, moving into a new home, or unsure whether your chimney is safe to use.

Most Havant sweeps can do a smoke or draw test (£45 to £80) to check whether your chimney is pulling properly. If the inspection finds a problem like a broken flue or blockage, your sweep can advise on the next step, whether that's a bird guard (£80 to £170), a flexible liner (£1010 to £2465), or repointing work (£335 to £1120).

  • Reveals blockages, cracks and loose mortar before they worsen
  • Useful when buying a property or moving home
  • Helps sweeps spot bird nests and debris

Open Fires, Stoves And Agas: What Havant Sweeps Can Service

The four Havant sweeps handle a range of heating appliances. Open fires, wood burners and multi-fuel stoves all need regular sweeping, typically once a year if you use them through winter. Aga and range cooker flues (£90 to £135) need their own attention, as they work differently from traditional chimneys and have their own maintenance schedule.

If you have more than one appliance on the same flue or multiple flues, ask your sweep about pricing for a second flue on the same visit (typically £35 to £55). Power sweeping (£100 to £170) is useful if tar has built up inside the flue, which happens over years of use. Most sweeps can advise whether your appliance needs a service or just a clean.

  • Open fires, wood burners and multi-fuel stoves swept annually
  • Aga and range cooker flues need separate attention
  • Second flue on same visit often cheaper than separate visit

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Havant

Book your Havant sweep between May and August to secure an appointment before September's rush. Late spring gives you time to address any issues found during inspection before you rely on your chimney through autumn and winter.

How often should I sweep my chimney in Havant?

Sweep your chimney once a year if you use an open fire, wood burner or multi-fuel stove regularly through winter. If you use your appliance less frequently, you may sweep less often, but ask your sweep for advice based on your usage. Aga and range cookers often need more frequent attention.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection reveals blockages, cracks, loose mortar, bird nests, debris and damaged flue liners. The camera feed lets your sweep assess the condition of your chimney inside and out, helping identify problems before they become dangerous or expensive. It costs £100 to £170 in Havant.

Can I get a chimney sweep appointment on a Saturday in Havant?

Yes, three of the four Havant sweeps work on Saturdays. Call ahead to check their availability and book your slot early, especially during the busy autumn months.

Why is my chimney blocked and how much does clearing it cost?

Blockages come from bird nests, debris, loose mortar or tar buildup. A standard sweep (£65 to £105 depending on appliance type) usually clears minor blockages. For heavy tar, a power sweep costs £100 to £170. If a CCTV inspection shows structural damage, further work may be needed.

What is a flexible flue liner and why fit one?

A flexible flue liner is a metal tube fitted inside your chimney to create a smooth, airtight passage for smoke and gases. It protects your chimney structure, improves draw and safety, and is often needed after CCTV inspection reveals damage. Supply and fitting costs £1010 to £2465 in Havant.

Should I sweep my chimney before or after winter?

Sweep before winter starts (by August or early September) so your chimney is clean and safe when you rely on it most. A post-winter sweep in spring clears any debris or bird nests that may have accumulated, then book your next sweep before the following autumn.
