How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you use an open fire regularly, sweep it at least once a year before the heating season. Wood burner and multi-fuel stove users should sweep one to two times yearly depending on how much you use it. Ask your sweep for advice based on your specific setup and usage.

What's included in a chimney sweep visit?

A standard sweep clears soot and deposits from the flue using brushes and rods or a power sweep. Most sweeps will check the chimney is drawing properly and can advise on repairs needed. Some offer CCTV inspections to see inside the flue in detail, which costs extra.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Your insurance often requires a sweeping certificate as proof you've maintained your chimney. A certificate shows the sweep has done the work and confirms the chimney is safe to use. Always ask for one at the end of your visit.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection lets the sweep see inside the full length of your flue on a screen. It reveals blockages, damage, loose mortar or unexpected issues a standard brush sweep might miss. It costs more but gives you certainty about what's happening inside.

Can a chimney sweep remove bird nests?

Yes, sweeps can remove nests, though timing matters. During nesting season (March to August) nests are protected by law if they're occupied. Outside that window or if unoccupied, removal is straightforward; expect to pay £80 to £155 depending on the mess and complexity.

What happens if my chimney fails inspection?

If a sweep finds damage, they'll explain what needs fixing. Common issues include damaged flue liners, loose pots or blocked sections. Many sweeps can handle repairs on the spot or recommend the work needed. Get a quote before work starts so you know the cost.
