Frequently Asked Questions About Chimney Sweeps in Brandon

How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you burn wood regularly, sweep once a year. Oil-fired systems need sweeping annually too. Open fires used occasionally can go every 18 months to 2 years, but a sweep before each heating season is the safest approach. Ask your sweep for advice specific to your appliance and fuel type.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV camera sends video footage up your flue, revealing blockages, cracks, missing mortar, bird nests or other damage you can't see from ground level. The sweep can spot problems early and give you a clear picture of repair work needed. Costs typically run £95 to £160.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Yes, if your chimney is part of your rental property or if you have home insurance. Your sweep should issue one after completing the work. Check your policy and tenancy agreement to confirm what's required.

What should I do if I find a bird's nest in my chimney?

During nesting season (March to August), birds and their nests are legally protected. You cannot remove them yourself. Contact your sweep, who can advise on waiting until the season ends or arrange safe removal. Outside nesting season, removal typically costs £85 to £170.

How much does a flexible flue liner cost?

A new flexible flue liner, including fitting, ranges from £955 to £2,330 depending on flue length, material and complexity. It's a significant investment, but necessary if your flue is damaged or you're converting between fuel types.

Can I book a chimney sweep online in Brandon?

AD Chimney Sweep & Guttering has a website where you can check availability and book online. Phil Wittam Chimney Sweep operates by phone appointment. Both sweeps work Saturdays, so weekday and weekend slots are available.
