Three Rated Sweeps Worth Contacting

Pro-Sweep NI in Ballymoney leads the group with a 5.3 rating across 17 reviews and maintains a website where you can check their current availability. They're open Saturdays, which suits weekend-only bookings. Causeway Sweep & Service in Portrush has 19 reviews with a 4.6 rating and also opens Saturdays, though you'll need to call or use word-of-mouth recommendations.

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Causeway Coast and Glens?

A basic open fire sweep costs £55 to £80, while wood burners and multi fuel stoves are £60 to £85. Range cooker or Aga flues run £70 to £110. CCTV inspections sit at £80 to £135. Larger work like flue lining can reach £810 to £1980 fitted. Prices vary by chimney type and condition.

How often should I sweep my chimney?

Open fires need sweeping at least once a year, more often if you use them heavily. Wood burners and multi fuel stoves should be swept once yearly too, though some users sweep twice if they burn regularly. Gas appliances need less frequent attention. Ask your sweep for a recommendation based on your usage.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection lets the sweep see inside your flue to check for blockages, cracks, loose mortar, bird nests, or tar buildup. It costs £80 to £135 and pinpoints exactly what needs fixing rather than guessing. Results help you plan repairs before problems cause safety issues.

Can I book a chimney sweep on Saturday in Causeway Coast and Glens?

Yes. Pro-Sweep NI in Ballymoney and Causeway Sweep & Service in Portrush both open Saturdays, making weekend appointments possible. Check with them directly to confirm availability, as Saturday slots can fill quickly during peak season.

What is a chimney sweeping certificate and do I need one?

A sweeping certificate is a record that your chimney has been professionally cleaned. Your sweep issues one after each visit. Keep these records for your own safety and for any future home insurance or conveyancing queries.

Do I need a chimney inspection if I've just moved in?

Yes. If you don't know when the chimney was last swept or by whom, a CCTV inspection reveals its condition before you light a fire or turn on a heating appliance. It costs £80 to £135 and prevents costly surprises.
