What To Expect From A Renfrew Chimney Sweep Visit

When the sweep arrives, they'll protect your carpets and furniture, then work systematically through the chimney from bottom to top, loosening soot and debris. For an open fire or stove, the job usually takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how much buildup is present. They should show you a certificate after sweeping, which your home insurance may require.

If you've had no recent inspection, ask whether they offer a CCTV survey. This cameras into the flue so you can see the condition of the brickwork, mortar, and flue lining. It costs more upfront but catches damage early, which saves money in the long run.

How often should I sweep my chimney?

If you use an open fire or wood burner regularly, sweep it once a year before winter. Gas appliances need a check annually too, though they produce less soot. Ask your sweep for advice if you're unsure of your heating method.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV survey lets the sweep look inside your flue with a camera to spot cracks, loose mortar, bird nests, or blockages. It costs £90 to £145 but reveals problems you can't see otherwise, helping you avoid costly damage later.

Do I need a sweeping certificate?

Yes. Most home insurance policies require a valid sweeping certificate as proof you maintain your chimney. Your sweep will provide one after the job.

What's the difference between a power sweep and a standard brush sweep?

A standard brush sweep uses rods and brushes to dislodge soot. A power (rotary) sweep uses a spinning brush and is better for heavy tar buildup, especially in older chimneys. Power sweeps cost more (£90 to £145) but tackle stubborn deposits.

Can the sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, but only outside the nesting season (generally April to September). Bird nests are protected by law during breeding season. Removal costs £80 to £155, and the sweep can fit a guard or cowl afterwards to prevent return visits.

Why does my chimney need a smoke test?

A smoke test (£40 to £70) checks whether your flue is drawing properly. Weak draw can mean smoke enters the room or fumes escape into the loft instead of outside. It's a quick way to confirm your chimney is safe before winter heating starts.
