All Three Sweeps Serving May Bank and Bradwell

Newcastle-under-Lyme has three based sweeps, all covering the town's urban neighbourhoods of May Bank and Bradwell. Each one has a website where you can read reviews and get in touch. Two open on Saturdays, so if you work during the week, you have the flexibility to book a weekend appointment without travelling to nearby towns.

The combined experience across these three means you'll find someone suited to your needs, a wood burner, a range cooker or an Aga. Most sweeps can also handle CCTV inspections if you're unsure whether your chimney is clear, and bird nest removal if you've noticed activity in the flue.

  • Three rated sweeps based locally, all with websites
  • Two open Saturdays for added convenience
  • Coverage includes May Bank and Bradwell
  • Services range from standard sweeps to CCTV inspections and repairs

Stoke-on-Trent and Surrounding Towns Within Reach

If you can't find an appointment slot with a Newcastle sweep, Stoke-on-Trent is only 2 miles away and has two sweeps on the directory. Endon, Stanley, Alsager, Biddulph and Blythe Bridge are all within 8 miles, each with at least one sweep available. This gives you real choice if you need to book at short notice or prefer to compare options across the area.

Why Book Early in the Season

The busiest months for sweeps are September through December, when everyone wants their chimney cleared before the heating season starts. By booking in late spring or early summer instead, you'll have more date options and often faster turnaround. You'll also sleep easier knowing your flue is safe and ready before the colder months arrive, rather than scrambling for an appointment when the backlog builds up.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Newcastle

Book your Newcastle chimney sweep between May and August to avoid the autumn and winter rush. You'll have more choice of dates, quicker service, and the reassurance that your flue is clear and safe well before you need the heating.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Newcastle?

A standard sweep costs £60 to £85 for an open fire, or £65 to £90 for a wood burner or multi-fuel stove. CCTV inspections run £85 to £145. Repairs and larger jobs like relining cost more; ask your sweep for a quote on the specific work you need.

How often should I get my chimney swept?

Open fires should be swept once a year. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves need sweeping at least once a year, more often if you use them heavily. Range cookers and Agas need less frequent sweeping but should be checked annually.

Can I book a Newcastle chimney sweep on Saturday?

Yes, two of the three Newcastle sweeps open on Saturdays. Check their websites or contact them directly to confirm available dates and times that suit you.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection lets your sweep see inside the flue using a camera, spotting blockages, damage, or nesting birds without guesswork. It costs £85 to £145 and is useful if your chimney has a poor draw or you're buying a property.

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

Many nesting birds are protected by law, so they must not be disturbed during breeding season. Your sweep can safely remove nests outside this period and fit a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £145) to prevent future nesting.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Yes, your sweep should provide a certificate after each sweep. This proves your chimney was professionally swept and is useful for insurance and if you ever sell your home.
