Sweeping Services Available In Midhurst

Most sweeps in the GU29 area can handle open fires, wood burners, multi-fuel stoves, and range cooker or Aga flues. If you have more than one appliance, many offer a discounted rate for a second flue on the same visit. CCTV inspection is a practical option if you're unsure of your chimney's condition or suspect a blockage.

For chimneys with heavy tar buildup, a power sweep (rotary sweep) can be more effective than traditional brushing alone. Smoke or draw tests help confirm whether your flue is performing correctly after sweeping. Ask your sweep which methods suit your particular setup.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires need sweeping at least once a year, ideally before you light them in autumn. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves also require annual sweeping. If you use your appliance heavily or it's a solid fuel cooker, ask your sweep whether more frequent visits would help.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

CCTV inspection lets your sweep see inside the full length of your flue without guesswork. It spots blockages, cracks, bird nests, or structural damage that a brush alone might miss. It costs £100 to £170 and is especially useful if you suspect a problem or are buying a property.

Why is my chimney smoking into the room?

Poor draw can stem from a blockage, a damaged flue, inadequate ventilation, or a blocked cowl. A smoke test (£45 to £80) helps identify the cause. Your sweep can then recommend whether cleaning, repair, or a new flue liner is needed.

Can I sweep my own chimney?

While brushes are available to buy, professional sweeping is safer and more thorough. Sweeps carry insurance and provide a certificate proving the work, which matters for safety and resale value. Most find the cost well worth the risk avoidance.

What if I find a bird nest in my chimney?

Bird nests are protected during breeding season, so removal is restricted by law from spring through summer. A chimney guard or cowl (£80 to £170) prevents future nesting. Removal costs £90 to £180 and is easier to arrange in autumn or winter.

Should I have my wood burner serviced separately?

Yes. A wood burner annual service (£100 to £170) includes chimney sweeping plus inspection of the stove itself, seals, and firebox. This keeps both the appliance and flue in good working order and is often needed for warranty claims or insurance.
