FlueSafe South West and Three Counties Chimney Sweeps Serve Rural Parishes

FlueSafe South West Chimney Sweep Services and Three Counties Chimney Sweeps are the two smallest by review count, with 29 and 28 reviews respectively. Both score 5.9 out of 10 and both have websites. FlueSafe South West opens Saturdays; Three Counties does not. These sweeps tend to serve the more rural parishes such as West Coker, Castle Cary and Brympton, making them good options if you are outside central Yeovil.

Fewer reviews mean less public feedback to browse, so contact them directly to confirm they cover your area and to ask about their experience with your type of chimney or appliance.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Yeovil

Book a Yeovil chimney sweep between May and August to avoid the autumn rush that begins in September. Sweeping before the heating season starts in autumn protects against blockages and carbon monoxide risk once you light the fire or stove.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Yeovil?

A standard sweep for an open fire runs £60 to £90. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves are £65 to £95, whilst Aga or range cooker flues are £80 to £120. CCTV inspections are £90 to £155. Repairs and larger jobs such as stack repointing or flue liner fitting cost considerably more and depend on what is found.

Can I book a chimney sweep on Saturday in Yeovil?

Four of the five Yeovil sweeps open on Saturdays. Check their websites or ring ahead to see what slots are free, as Saturday appointments fill quickly, especially in autumn and winter.

What is included in a chimney inspection?

Most sweeps offer a basic visual sweep and a CCTV inspection. The CCTV inspection (£90 to £155) gives you video footage of the flue interior, revealing blockages, damage, deposits or defects that a simple sweep alone cannot show. Ask whether your sweep includes a smoke or draw test (£40 to £70) to check whether your chimney is working properly.

Do chimney sweeps remove bird nests?

Yes, most sweeps can remove nests. Yeovil sweeps charge £80 to £165 for bird nest removal. Nesting season protection rules apply in the UK, so confirm the timing with your sweep before booking if the nest is active.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Sweeping frequency depends on fuel type. Oil and solid fuel users should sweep annually. Gas users typically need sweeping once every two years, though this varies by appliance and usage. Ask your sweep for a recommendation based on what you burn.

Which Yeovil chimney sweep has the most reviews?

Tom Sweep Chimney Services leads with 576 customer reviews and a score of 9.2 out of 10. It operates in central Yeovil and the surrounding areas, and opens Saturdays.
