Common Sweeping Work in Larne

Open fires and wood burners remain popular heating choices across Northern Ireland, and both need regular sweeping to stay safe and efficient. A standard sweep removes soot and blockages, while a CCTV inspection uses a small camera to spot cracks, bird nests, or structural issues you can't see from ground level. Most sweeps can also fit bird guards and cowls to prevent future nesting, carry out smoke tests to check draw, and handle heavier tar deposits with power sweeping if needed.

Open fire sweeping: £55 to £80
CCTV inspection: £80 to £135
Bird guard or cowl: £65 to £135
Smoke or draw test: £35 to £65

Bird nests are common in spring and summer, and removal costs £70 to £145, though nests with active birds are protected by law.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

Open fires and wood burners should be swept at least once a year before the heating season. If you burn solid fuel frequently, twice-yearly sweeping may be needed. Range cookers and Agas typically need an annual sweep. Your sweep can advise based on your usage and fuel type.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection sends a small camera up your flue to check for blockages, cracks, bird nests, or creosote buildup that a standard sweep might miss. It costs £80 to £135 and gives you a clear picture of your chimney's condition, helping you plan repairs.

Why do I need a sweep certificate?

A sweep certificate (or sweeping certificate) proves your chimney has been professionally cleaned and is safe to use. Most insurers require one annually, and it protects you if an incident occurs. Your sweep will provide this after completion.

What should I do if a bird has nested in my chimney?

Contact your sweep; bird nest removal costs £70 to £145. Note that nests with active chicks or eggs are protected by law, so removal may need to wait until late summer. A fitted bird guard (£65 to £135) prevents future nesting.

Can I sweep my own chimney?

DIY sweeping risks incomplete cleaning, flue damage, and carbon monoxide buildup. Professional sweeps have the right equipment and training to do the job safely and thoroughly. It's not worth the risk.

Are there other sweeps near Larne if I can't reach Dee the Sweep?

Larne has one registered sweep. Nearby towns such as Carrickfergus and Ballyclare (both 7 miles away) each have one sweep, and Newtownabbey (10 miles) has two. You can expand your search if needed.
