What The Seven Shrewsbury Sweeps Offer

All seven sweeps on this directory have websites and open on Saturdays, which removes two common frustrations when booking. Between them they've gathered 111 customer reviews, with Shropshire Stove & Chimney Centre leading on customer feedback. Most sweeps in the area can handle standard chimney sweeping, inspections and repairs, though you should check their websites or call to confirm they cover the specific job you need, whether that's a bird nest removal, power sweep for heavy tar buildup, or fitting a new cowl.

The sweeps serve Shrewsbury's urban core and also spread into surrounding rural parishes. Three are based in urban Shrewsbury itself, while four cover the quieter areas around Baschurch, Pontesbury and further out. This split means residents in the countryside as well as town centre properties have local options.

Inspection, Repairs and Extra Services In Shropshire

Beyond the basic sweep, most sweeps can carry out a CCTV inspection (£85 to £145) to look inside your flue for cracks, blockages or bird nests. This is often a smart first step if you haven't used your chimney in years or you're buying a period property. Bird nest removal sits at £80 to £155, and fitting a protective bird guard or cowl costs £70 to £145, well worth it if you have nesting problems.

Larger jobs like chimney stack repointing (£290 to £970) or installing a full flexible flue liner (£875 to £2,135) require specialist work, so ask whether a sweep offers these or recommends trusted contractors. Smoke and draw tests (£40 to £70) help diagnose draft problems before you invest in repairs.

  • CCTV inspections reveal hidden damage
  • Bird nests and guards are common jobs
  • Repointing and flue liners are major repairs
  • Smoke tests troubleshoot draft issues

How much does it cost to sweep a chimney in Shrewsbury?

A standard open fire sweep costs £60 to £85 in Shrewsbury, while wood burners or multi-fuel stoves are £65 to £90. Price depends on what you're sweeping, the flue's condition and whether it needs power sweeping for heavy tar. Ring a local sweep for a specific quote.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners should be swept once a year, ideally before the heating season. If you use a Rayburn or Aga, more frequent sweeping may be needed. An annual service (£85 to £145) keeps your stove and flue in good order.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection (£85 to £145) uses a camera to look inside your flue for blockages, cracks, bird nests or damage you can't see from the ground. It's a good idea if you've never swept before or you're buying a period property with an old chimney.

What should I do if a bird has nested in my chimney?

Bird nests are protected during breeding season, so removal must wait until autumn or winter. A CCTV inspection first confirms what you're dealing with. Removal costs £80 to £155, and fitting a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £145) stops it happening again.

Can I book a chimney sweep on Saturday in Shrewsbury?

Yes. All seven sweeps in the Shrewsbury directory offer Saturday appointments and have online booking on their websites, so finding a weekend slot should be straightforward.

How long does a chimney sweep take?

A standard sweep usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on your flue's condition. A full CCTV inspection or power sweep for tar buildup may take longer. Ask your chosen sweep for a rough timeframe when you book.
