How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires should be swept at least once a year. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves need sweeping 1 to 2 times yearly depending on how much you use them. Range cookers and Agas typically need an annual sweep. Your sweep can advise based on your appliance and fuel type.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection involve?

A camera on a flexible rod is fed up the flue to show blockages, cracks, tar buildup or bird nests. The surveyor watches a screen and can photograph problem areas. It costs £85 to £140 and helps your sweep plan any repairs needed.

Can a chimney sweep remove a bird's nest?

Yes, though timing matters. Bird nests are protected during breeding season (spring and early summer), so removal isn't legal then. Outside that period, removal costs £75 to £150. Many sweeps can fit a bird guard or cowl (£65 to £140) to prevent nests returning.

What's the difference between a standard sweep and a power sweep?

A standard sweep uses hand tools and brushes. A power sweep uses a rotary machine and costs more (£85 to £140) but is better for heavy tar or stubborn buildup, especially in wood burners or open fires with poor draw.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Yes. Your sweep should provide one after cleaning, showing the flue was cleared and safe to use. It's useful for insurance and safety records.

What should I do if my chimney is blocked?

Contact a sweep for a CCTV inspection to identify the cause, bird nests, soot, tar or structural damage are common culprits. They can then clear it or recommend repairs like flue lining if the chimney is damaged.
