Average Chimney Sweep Prices
A standard sweep of an open fire chimney in Portsmouth typically costs £65 to £100, while a wood burner or multi fuel stove usually costs £75 to £105 because the flue liner and baffle plate need extra care.
Prices here run above the UK average, which mostly reflects higher travel, parking and running costs in the area.
Extra work costs more: a CCTV inspection runs £100 to £170 and clearing a bird nest is £90 to £180. Many sweeps offer a discount if you book two flues on the same visit, so it is worth asking.
