When Sweeps Handle Bird Nests and Blockages

If a bird has nested in your chimney, most sweeps can remove it safely, though they'll check whether the bird is still nesting before work starts, nesting birds are protected in season, so timing matters. Removal typically costs £70 to £145. Once cleared, a guard or cowl fitted to the chimney top prevents it happening again, usually £65 to £135. If tar or heavy deposits are blocking the flue, a power (rotary) sweep is the answer, priced £80 to £135, and far more effective than a brush alone on oil-fired or heavily sooted chimneys.

  • Bird nest removal handled by local sweeps
  • Nesting birds protected in season, book around nesting periods
  • Guards and cowls prevent future blockages
  • Power sweeping tackles heavy tar buildup

Inspections and Repairs Available Locally

CCTV inspection technology lets sweeps spot cracks, loose mortar or flue damage without guesswork. Expect to pay £80 to £135 for a full inspection with video footage you can review. Once damage is identified, repairs like flexible flue liner installation (£810 to £1,980) or stack repointing (£270 to £900) are available through local sweeps or their trusted contractors. A smoke or draw test (£35 to £65) checks whether your chimney performs properly after cleaning or repair, essential for confirming a safe draw before the heating season.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners need sweeping once yearly before the heating season. If you burn a lot of wood, twice-yearly sweeping isn't unusual. Oil-fired systems and range cookers typically need one sweep per year. Ask your sweep for advice based on your fuel and how much you use the appliance.

What's the difference between a CCTV inspection and a regular sweep?

A sweep removes soot and blockages using a brush and rods or vacuum. A CCTV inspection sends a camera up the flue to look for structural damage, cracks or partial collapse you can't see. Many sweeps offer both, a sweep keeps it working, an inspection diagnoses problems.

Do chimney sweeps provide a certificate?

Yes. A sweep should provide a certificate confirming the chimney has been swept and is safe to use. This is important for insurance claims and proves you've maintained the system properly.

What's a flexible flue liner and why might I need one?

A flexible metal liner is a tube fitted inside a damaged or deteriorating chimney to seal it and allow safe passage of smoke and gases. You need one if your chimney has cracks, internal damage or if it doesn't match modern appliances. Installation is specialist work, typically £810 to £1,980 depending on chimney height and condition.

Can a sweep remove a bird's nest?

Yes, but only when nesting birds aren't present. If a bird is actively nesting, removal is illegal. Sweeps are aware of nesting seasons and won't disturb protected nests. Once cleared after the season, a cowl or guard stops birds returning, costing £65 to £135.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon?

An open fire sweep costs £55 to £80, a wood burner £60 to £85. CCTV inspections run £80 to £135. Repairs vary widely: chimney pot replacement is £135 to £360, while stack repointing reaches £270 to £900. Ask for a quote based on your specific needs.
