What A Wolverhampton Sweep Can Do

Beyond the routine sweep, local sweeps tackle a range of maintenance and safety tasks. If a CCTV inspection reveals tar buildup or internal damage, a power sweep (£85 to £145) can shift heavy deposits. Bird nest removal runs £80 to £155, and fitting a bird guard or cowl costs £70 to £145 to prevent future problems. Should you have a wood burner, annual servicing (£85 to £145) keeps it running safely and efficiently.

Structural issues like crumbling mortar on the chimney stack need repointing, priced at £290 to £970 depending on extent. Chimney pots that are cracked or missing can be replaced for £145 to £390. For older properties or those where the original flue is too narrow, a flexible flue liner (£875 to £2,135 fitted) creates a modern, airtight passage for fumes.

Smoke and draw tests (£40 to £70) confirm your chimney is functioning properly
Second flues swept on the same visit cost just £30 to £50 extra
Range cookers and Aga flues need specialist attention, typically £80 to £115

How often should I have my Wolverhampton chimney swept?

For an open fire, once a year is standard. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves should be swept 1 to 2 times per year depending on how much you use them. If you burn wood regularly or notice slow draw or smoke, ask your sweep for advice on your specific setup.

What's included in a CCTV chimney inspection?

The sweep uses a camera to inspect the inside of your flue, spotting blockages, cracks, tar buildup, or structural damage you can't see from outside. It costs £85 to £145 and gives you a clear picture of what repairs, if any, are needed before you light a fire.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

If you're renting or have a mortgage, your landlord or lender may require proof of a professional sweep. A certificate or receipt from a qualified sweep serves as that proof and is also useful for insurance claims.

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

Bird nests are protected by law during breeding season (usually spring and summer), so removal is illegal at that time. Your sweep can fit a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £145) after the nest is abandoned. Out of season, removal costs £80 to £155.

How much does it cost to replace a chimney pot?

Chimney pot replacement runs £145 to £390 depending on the type and how difficult the job is. A cracked or missing pot can let rain in and disrupt the draft, so replacing it is usually worth doing promptly.

Can I sweep my chimney myself?

Professional sweeps are recommended because they have the right equipment and training to do the job safely and thoroughly. DIY attempts risk incomplete cleaning, property damage, and personal injury. A professional sweep also provides a certificate if needed.
