How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you use an open fire regularly, sweep it at least once per year. For wood burners and multi-fuel stoves, annual sweeping is standard. If you use a range cooker or Aga occasionally, once a year is sufficient. Your sweep will advise if heavy tar or creosote buildup requires more frequent attention.

What does a chimney sweep certificate cover?

A sweep's certificate confirms your flue is clear of obstruction and safe to use. Many buildings insurers and mortgage lenders ask to see it before cover begins. The certificate shows the date and type of sweep performed, and typically lasts one year.

Why is CCTV inspection useful for my chimney?

CCTV inspection lets your sweep see inside the full length of your flue without dismantling anything. It reveals cracks, missing mortar, bird nests, or deposits that affect safety and draw. Most inspections cost £90 to £145 and help identify repairs before they become urgent.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes. Bird nest removal typically costs £80 to £155. Many nests are protected during breeding season (March to August), so your sweep will advise whether removal is safe to carry out now or must wait until autumn.

What is a power sweep and when is it needed?

A power sweep uses a rotating brush on a flexible rod to loosen heavy tar or creosote buildup that a traditional brush cannot shift. It costs £90 to £145 and is often combined with a standard sweep. Your sweep will recommend it if they suspect serious deposits during inspection.

How do I know if my chimney needs a new flue liner?

A CCTV inspection reveals cracks, gaps, or deterioration inside the flue that suggest a liner is needed. Flexible liners cost £880 to £2155 to supply and fit, depending on flue length and accessibility. Your sweep will give a full quote once they assess the damage.
