How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you use an open fire daily or regularly, sweep it at least once a year, ideally before the heating season starts. Wood burner and multi fuel stove users should sweep once a year as well. Agas and range cookers can go longer between sweeps, but ask your sweep for their view on your specific appliance.

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

A sweep clears soot, creosote and debris from your flue. A CCTV inspection (£80 to £135) uses a camera to spot cracks, blockages, bird nests or structural damage that sweeping alone won't reveal. Many sweeps recommend an inspection if you haven't had one for years or suspect a problem.

Do I need a certificate after my chimney is swept?

Yes. A sweeping certificate proves the work was done and is often required by your home insurance. Ask your sweep to provide one after each visit and keep it with your records.

Why is my chimney smoking back into the room?

Poor draw can result from a blockage, a bird nest, damaged flue lining, or a cowl that's too restrictive. A sweep can clear obvious obstructions, and a CCTV inspection will reveal structural problems. You may also benefit from a smoke or draw test (£35 to £65) to diagnose the issue.

What should I do if I find a bird nest in my chimney?

If the nest is active during nesting season (roughly March to August), it's protected by law and must not be disturbed. Once the season ends, a sweep can remove it for £70 to £145. Fitting a bird guard or cowl (£65 to £135) stops them returning.

How much does it cost to repair a damaged chimney?

Repairs vary widely. Repointing a chimney stack costs £270 to £900. A new flue liner runs £810 to £1,980. Chimney pot replacement is £135 to £360. Ask your sweep for a site visit and quote; many structural issues need inspection before a price can be given.
