See plansSweep an open fire or multi-fuel stove annually before winter. Wood burners should be swept at least twice yearly if used regularly. Oil and gas flues typically need one sweep per year. Your sweep can advise based on your specific appliance and usage.
A sweep cleans the flue of soot and debris. A CCTV inspection (£80 to £135 here) uses a camera to identify damage, blockages or structural issues inside the chimney that brushing alone won't reveal. Many sweeps offer both services.
Yes. A sweeping certificate proves your chimney has been professionally cleaned and is safe to use. It's often required by insurance companies and essential if you need to make a claim. Your sweep will issue one after completing the job.
Bird nests are protected during breeding season. Your sweep must check whether birds are present before removal. If they are, removal is delayed until the season ends. Outside season, removal costs £70 to £145. Installing a bird guard (£65 to £135) prevents future nests.
Yes. Heavy tar deposits need a power (rotary) sweep rather than a standard brush. This costs £80 to £135 in Antrim and Newtownabbey. Ask your chosen sweep whether your flue needs this approach.
A smoke or draw test (£35 to £65) checks whether your flue is drawing properly and venting gases safely outside. It's useful if you've noticed smoke entering the room or suspect a blockage. Your sweep can advise whether it's needed for your appliance.
