Most Somerset sweeps offer more than a chimney clean. CCTV inspections (£90 to £155) give you a clear view of flue condition before you commit to repairs. If birds have nested in your chimney, removal runs £80 to £165, and fitting a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £155) prevents future visits. Power sweeping for heavy tar deposits costs £90 to £155, while smoke tests (£40 to £70) confirm proper draw.
Book your Somerset sweep between May and August to avoid the autumn rush and ensure your chimney is clean before heating season starts in September. Most sweeps fill their diaries quickly once the weather cools.
