One Sweep Serving Invergordon and the Cromarty Firth

Invergordon has a single chimney sweep on this directory, Highland Sweep Chimney Services, which has built up 47 customer reviews. The business is based in the town itself and covers the local area. With one established operator, you have a clear starting point for booking, though you may also consider sweeps in nearby towns if timing or specific services matter to you.

What To Expect From a Sweep in IV18

A typical sweep visit in Invergordon involves arriving with rods, brushes, and protective coverings. They'll sweep out soot and debris, check for blockages, and often offer a photograph or certificate to confirm the work is done. Many sweeps now offer CCTV inspections as standard or as an add-on, which shows exactly what's happening inside your flue and catches problems like cracks, bird nests, or tar buildup before they become costly.

Before booking, ask whether the sweep can visit on a day that suits you. Most sweeps work weekdays, and some offer weekend slots. If you heat with an open fire, wood burner, or solid fuel stove, book your sweep in late spring or summer to avoid the autumn rush and ensure your chimney is ready before the heating season starts.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Invergordon

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Invergordon?

A standard sweep costs £60 to £95 depending on the type of appliance. Open fires are typically at the lower end, while wood burners and multi-fuel stoves may cost slightly more. CCTV inspections add £90 to £145, and specialist work like repointing or flue liners increases the cost further.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you use an open fire regularly, sweep it 1 to 2 times per year. Wood burner and multi-fuel stove users should sweep at least once a year, ideally before winter. If you use your chimney rarely or seasonally, once a year is usually sufficient. Ask your sweep for advice on your specific setup.

What is a CCTV chimney inspection?

A CCTV inspection sends a small camera up your flue to check for blockages, cracks, bird nests, tar buildup, or other damage. It costs £90 to £145 and provides photographs or video evidence of any problems. It's especially useful if you're experiencing poor draw, smoke spillage, or buying a property with an unfamiliar chimney.

Do chimney sweeps work on Saturdays in Invergordon?

Most sweeps in Invergordon operate on weekdays. Saturday appointments are less common, so book early if you need a weekend slot. Some nearby towns may offer weekend availability if it's essential for your schedule.

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

Bird nests are legally protected during breeding season (roughly March to September). Removal during this time is not permitted. If nesting occurs, wait until late autumn or hire a sweep in winter when removal is allowed. You can fit a bird guard or cowl (£70 to £145) after removal to prevent future nesting.

Why is my chimney producing so much smoke?

Poor draw or smoke spillage can result from blockages, bird nests, cracks in the flue, or an undersized chimney. A CCTV inspection will identify the cause. A smoke or draw test (£40 to £70) helps diagnose the problem. Your sweep can then recommend repairs, such as a flexible flue liner or clearing debris.
