How Much Does a Chimney Sweep Cost in Nottinghamshire?

A standard chimney sweep in Nottinghamshire costs between £60 and £90 depending on what you're heating with, open fires, wood burners and multi-fuel stoves sit at the lower end, while range cookers and Aga flues push towards £115. CCTV inspections, which show exactly what's happening inside your flue, run £85 to £145. Repairs and fittings are pricier: chimney pot replacement ranges from £145 to £385, and a full flexible flue liner installation can reach £2,110. What you'll actually pay depends on how accessible your chimney is, how dirty it is, and whether additional work surfaces during the visit.

Who's Sweeping in Your Area

Nottinghamshire's 20 sweeps cluster in three main population zones: Nottingham itself has four, Carlton and Newark each have three, and Mansfield has two. If you're in smaller towns or villages, Southwell, Ravenshead, Awsworth, Ruddington, you'll still find someone within reasonable reach. The county splits fairly evenly between urban sweeps (14) serving the built-up areas around Nottingham, Carlton, Hucknall and Newark-on-Trent, and six based in more rural parishes and neighbourhoods like Sutton-on-Trent and Bilsthorpe.

Embers Chimney Sweep & Stove Servicing in Hucknall leads the ratings with 176 reviews, while Wright's Chimney Sweep and Stan The Sweep Limited both operate from Newark. Fifteen of the 20 sweeps open on Saturdays, so you're unlikely to struggle finding someone available outside the working week.

What Sweeps Can Sort for You

Most sweeps offer the basics: a thorough sweep of your flue and a safety inspection. Many then go further. A CCTV inspection (£85 to £145) lets a sweep see blockages, cracks or structural damage before they become emergencies. If a bird's nested in your chimney, a common problem during spring and summer, removal costs £75 to £155, and fitting a guard or cowl afterwards (£65 to £145) stops it happening again.

Bigger jobs like chimney pot replacement, repointing the stack, or installing a flexible flue liner need specialist skills and cost considerably more. Ask your local sweep whether they handle the work you need or can recommend someone who does.

Booking Before The Heating Season

Nottinghamshire sweeps get busiest from September through December, when everyone switches on their fires at once. Booking in late spring or summer (May to August) means you'll get an appointment quickly, your chimney will be clean and safe before you need the heating, and you'll avoid the autumn rush altogether. It's the easiest time to arrange a visit and often means less waiting around.

A sweep should inspect your flue at least once a year before the heating season starts. If you burn wood, that rises to twice yearly. Getting ahead now means reassurance when winter arrives.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Nottinghamshire

Book your Nottinghamshire sweep between May and August to beat the autumn rush. Most sweeps are quieter then, so you'll get an appointment faster and your chimney will be clean well before you need the heating on.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Nottinghamshire?

A standard sweep costs £60 to £90 depending on the appliance. Open fires and wood burners are typically £60 to £85, while range cookers and Agas go up to £115. CCTV inspections add £85 to £145. Repairs like chimney pot replacement (£145 to £385) or flue liner installation (£865 to £2,110) are significantly more.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Once a year is the standard for open fires and most multi-fuel stoves. If you burn wood regularly, twice yearly is safer. Get it done before the heating season starts, so spring or early summer, to make sure your flue is clear and safe.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection (£85 to £145) lets a sweep see inside your flue without guesswork. It spots blockages, cracks, structural damage, bird nests or buildup that a standard sweep might miss, helping identify problems before they become emergencies.

Can a chimney sweep remove a bird's nest?

Yes, though timing matters. During nesting season (March to August), many birds' nests are protected by law and can't be disturbed. Outside that window, removal typically costs £75 to £155. Fitting a guard or cowl afterwards (£65 to £145) prevents it happening again.

Do Nottinghamshire sweeps work on Saturdays?

Fifteen of the 20 sweeps in the county offer Saturday appointments, so finding a convenient time outside the working week is usually straightforward.

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

A standard sweep uses brushes and rods. A power or rotary sweep (£85 to £145) spins a rotating brush through the flue to dislodge heavy tar, creosote or stubborn buildup more effectively than manual brushing alone.
