How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners should be swept at least once a year, ideally before winter. If you burn solid fuel heavily or notice smoke backing up into the room, more frequent sweeping may be needed. Your sweep can advise based on your usage and chimney condition.

What does a chimney sweep do during a visit?

A sweep uses rods and brushes to scrub soot and creosote from the flue, then vacuums the debris. They'll check the chimney is clear and may recommend further work like inspection or repair. Many also offer smoke testing to verify your draw is working properly.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection uses a small camera on a flexible rod to view inside your flue without climbing on the roof. It reveals blockages, cracks, loose mortar, or bird nests that might not be visible otherwise. Costs run £85 to £140 and are especially useful if you suspect a problem.

Why is my chimney blocked?

Blockages come from excessive soot and creosote buildup, bird nests, fallen debris, or loose internal materials. A CCTV inspection will show exactly what's causing it. Once cleared, regular sweeping prevents most blockages from returning.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, removal costs £75 to £150. However, nesting birds are legally protected during breeding season (usually March to August), so timing is important. After removal, fitting a bird guard or cowl (£65 to £140) stops them nesting again.

What happens if I don't sweep my chimney?

Unswept chimneys accumulate soot and creosote, reducing airflow and causing smoke to back into your home. Heavy deposits also increase the risk of a chimney fire, which can damage the flue and spread to the rest of the building. Regular sweeping keeps your heating safe and efficient.
