See plansOpen fires should be swept at least once a year, ideally before winter. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves need sweeping 1 to 2 times yearly depending on how often you use them. If you burn smokeless fuel, annual sweeping usually suffices. Your sweep can advise based on your specific appliance and usage.
A CCTV inspection (£90 to £145) lets the sweep see inside your flue without dismantling it, revealing blockages, cracks, deposits, bird nests, or structural damage. It's useful if you're buying a property, suspect a problem, or want to understand your chimney's condition before sweeping.
A sweeping certificate confirms your chimney has been professionally cleaned and inspected. It protects your insurance claim if a fire occurs, satisfies mortgage lenders and surveyors, and proves you've maintained your heating system safely.
Yes, most sweeps offer bird nest removal (£80 to £155). However, during nesting season (spring and summer), nests may be protected by law, so the sweep may need to wait until chicks have fledged before removal. Ask your sweep about timing and fitting a bird guard afterwards to prevent future nests.
A sweep cleans the flue and removes soot and debris. A service (typically £90 to £145 for wood burners) includes sweeping plus checking the appliance, seals, and flue for safe operation. Services are often annual maintenance, while sweeps address cleaning alone.
A chimney pot replacement costs £145 to £390, while a flexible flue liner (£880 to £2,155) is a larger job that lines the entire flue. Both protect against damage and improve draw. Your sweep will advise if either is needed after inspection.
