How often should I have my chimney swept?

Sweeping frequency depends on your fuel. Open fires need sweeping at least once a year. If you burn wood, sweep twice yearly, once before the season starts and once halfway through. Oil-fired systems need one sweep yearly. Agas and range cookers vary by use, so ask your sweep for their recommendation.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection uses a camera to film inside your flue without dismantling it. It spots cracks in the liner, missing mortar joints, blockages, nesting materials, and tar buildup. The footage helps your sweep explain any repairs you need and gives you proof of the chimney's condition for insurance or property sale purposes.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Yes. A sweep should give you a certificate after each visit as proof the work was done and your chimney is safe to use. This protects you legally and is often required by insurance companies or if you're selling your property.

What is a flexible flue liner and why might I need one?

A flexible liner is a steel or stainless steel tube fitted inside an older chimney to create a smooth, contained flue. You may need one if your chimney is damaged, misaligned, or too large for your appliance. It stops hot gases and moisture escaping into the walls.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, most sweeps can remove nests, but timing matters. Many wild birds are protected between March and August, so removal outside those months is safest. If you find a nest during breeding season, ask your sweep about waiting until late summer or early autumn.

What should I expect during a chimney sweep visit?

The sweep will lay protective coverings, seal your fireplace opening, and use brushes and rods to clean the flue from bottom to top. You'll see soot and debris fall into a collection bag. The visit typically takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how blocked the chimney is. You'll receive a certificate and advice on any repairs needed.
