How often should I sweep my chimney in Kidderminster?

If you use an open fire, sweep at least once a year. Wood burner and multi-fuel stove owners should sweep 1 to 2 times yearly, depending on how much you use it. Range cookers and Agas typically need sweeping once a year.

What does a chimney sweep actually do?

A sweep brushes out soot, debris and tar buildup from inside your flue to prevent blockages and reduce fire risk. Most sweeps offer a basic sweep with a brush and rod, and many can also carry out CCTV inspections to check for damage inside the chimney that you can't see.

Do I need a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV survey costs £85 to £145 and is useful if you've never had the chimney checked, suspect damage, or are buying a property. For regular maintenance on a well-known working chimney, a standard sweep is usually sufficient unless your sweep recommends an inspection.

What is a bird guard and why would I need one?

A bird guard or cowl sits on top of your chimney pot and stops birds, leaves and debris entering the flue. If you've had birds nest in your chimney before, fitting one costs £70 to £145 and prevents repeat problems during nesting season.

How much does it cost to replace a chimney pot?

Chimney pot replacement ranges from £145 to £390 depending on the size, material and condition of the existing pot and the difficulty of the work. Discuss whether yours can be repaired or must be replaced when the sweep visits.

Can I find a sweep nearby if Kidderminster is fully booked?

Yes. Stourport-on-Severn has three sweeps and is 3 miles away; Stourbridge (6 miles) has five, and Bromsgrove (7 miles) has three. Booking early in summer gives you the widest choice across the region.
