Average Chimney Sweep Prices
Expect to pay £55 to £80 for a routine open fire sweep in Gateshead. Stove and wood burner sweeps sit slightly higher at £60 to £85, since the sweep has to remove and clean the baffle and work through a liner.
Prices here tend to sit slightly below the UK average, though rural callouts can add a travel charge.
Extra work costs more: a CCTV inspection runs £80 to £135 and clearing a bird nest is £75 to £145. Many sweeps offer a discount if you book two flues on the same visit, so it is worth asking.
