Sweeping Your Flue Before the Heating Season Starts

A chimney sweep removes the soot, debris and creosote that accumulate inside your flue over months of use. Leaving this build-up increases the risk of reduced draw, poor heating performance and in worst cases, chimney fires. Most sweeps can clear a standard flue in under an hour, though the time depends on how much debris is present and how accessible your chimney is.

If your sweep finds blockages or damage during the clean, they can advise on repairs. Bird nests are common causes of blockage during the nesting season (roughly spring and early summer), and these are protected by law, so removal must wait until the birds have left.

Bring up any concerns about draw, smoke or unusual smells
Ask whether the sweep carries a professional certificate for your records

Keeping Your Wood Burner and Aga Performing Well

Wood burners and Agas need regular attention to work safely and efficiently. An annual service typically includes a sweep, inspection and a test to ensure the flue is drawing properly. Costs range from £90 to £155 depending on the complexity of the appliance and any issues found.

If you're removing a bird nest or installing a guard to stop them nesting, sweeps in Street can handle both. A bird guard or cowl fitted costs £70 to £155, and removal of an active nest must follow legal protection rules for nesting birds.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Street

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires should be swept at least once a year, ideally before the heating season. Wood burners, multi-fuel stoves and Agas are denser users of the flue and may need sweeping two or even three times a year, depending on the wood quality and how often you use them. Your sweep can advise based on what you find during the first clean.

What does a chimney sweep do?

A chimney sweep removes soot, creosote, debris and blockages from inside your flue using brushes and rods or a power sweep tool. They check for damage, advise on repairs, and can carry out minor work like fitting bird guards or chimney pots. Most sweeps also issue a certificate confirming the flue has been cleared.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection uses a camera on a flexible rod to view the entire length of your flue. You get a video record of any cracks, blockages, deposits or damage. It costs £90 to £155 in Street and is useful when buying a property, planning repairs, or if a standard sweep raises concerns.

How much does a chimney sweep cost?

A basic sweep costs £60 to £95 depending on the type of appliance. CCTV inspections cost £90 to £155, and repairs vary widely: bird guard fitting is £70 to £155, chimney pot replacement £155 to £410, and a full flue liner £920 to £2245. Prices depend on the work needed and the condition of your chimney.

Why is my chimney blocked?

Common causes include soot and creosote build-up, bird nests (especially in spring and summer), fallen debris, damaged chimney pots, and cracked mortar letting bricks crumble into the flue. A CCTV inspection will show exactly what's blocking it, and your sweep can advise on the best fix.

Do I need a chimney certificate?

Most insurance providers and mortgage lenders want a sweep certificate confirming your flue has been cleaned and checked. It's also a record for your own safety. Ask your sweep to provide one after each visit, and keep it with your home records.
