How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you burn wood, have a wood burner, or use a multi-fuel stove, sweep annually before the heating season. Open fire users also need yearly sweeping. Coal burners may need more frequent sweeping depending on use. Most sweeps recommend getting it done in late spring or summer.

What does a chimney sweep cost in Redcar?

A basic open fire sweep costs £55 to £80, while wood burners run £60 to £85. CCTV inspections are £80 to £135. Repairs and fittings are more expensive: bird guards £65 to £135, chimney pot replacement £135 to £365, and flexible flue liners £820 to £2000. Ask your sweep for a specific quote.

Do I need a CCTV inspection of my chimney?

A CCTV inspection (£80 to £135) shows what's happening inside your chimney without guesswork. It's especially useful if you've got a blockage, suspect damage, or are buying a property and want to know the flue's condition. Your sweep can recommend whether you need one.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, most sweeps offer bird nest removal (£75 to £145). However, nesting birds are protected by law during breeding season, so if there are active nests, removal must wait until they've fledged. Your sweep will know the legal position and can advise you.

What should I do if my chimney is blocked?

Call a sweep to clear it. They'll rod or brush out the blockage, which typically costs £55 to £85 for a standard sweep. If there's heavy tar buildup, a power sweep might be needed (£80 to £135). If blockage is severe, a CCTV inspection first helps them plan the right approach.

Should I install a flexible flue liner in my chimney?

A flexible flue liner (£820 to £2000 fitted) protects your chimney from corrosion and improves draw, especially if you're installing a wood burner or stove. Your sweep can assess whether your chimney needs one based on its age and condition.
