Routine Sweeping and Maintenance in Swffryd

Most sweeps can handle open fires, wood burners, range cookers and Agas as part of their standard work. An annual sweep before the heating season keeps your chimney safe and running efficiently. If you're using your chimney regularly through the colder months, a yearly clean is the industry standard for solid fuel appliances. Some households may need sweeping more frequently depending on how often they use the chimney and what fuel they burn.

Wood burner or multi-fuel stove: £60 to £90
Range cooker or Aga: £75 to £110
Second flue on the same visit: £30 to £45

Inspection, Bird Issues and Blockages

CCTV inspections let you see exactly what's happening inside your chimney without guesswork. They cost £85 to £140 and are especially useful if you're buying a property, worried about a blockage, or want to understand why smoke isn't drawing properly. Bird nests are common in Blaenau Gwent during the nesting season and are protected by law, so removal needs care and timing. A smoke or draw test (£35 to £65) can pinpoint airflow problems before they become serious.

How often should I have my chimney swept?

If you use a solid fuel appliance (open fire, wood burner, or multi-fuel stove), sweep annually before the heating season. Oil-fired systems typically need one sweep a year; gas fires usually need one every two years. More frequent use may call for more frequent sweeping.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection show?

A CCTV inspection gives you a video view inside the chimney to spot blockages, cracks, loose bricks, bird nests, or tar buildup. It costs £85 to £140 and is invaluable if you're unsure whether your chimney is safe or if there's a draw problem.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

Yes, but timing matters. Bird nests are protected during the breeding season, so removal must wait until nests are empty. Costs run £75 to £150. Most sweeps can advise on the right time to act.

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

A standard sweep uses hand tools and rods. A power (rotary) sweep uses mechanical rotation to tackle stubborn tar and heavy deposits, typically costing £85 to £140. Ask whether your chimney needs it based on what's been built up.

How much does a flexible flue liner cost?

A flexible flue liner installed in your chimney costs £835 to £2045 depending on the length and complexity. It protects older or damaged flues and allows you to use them safely again.

What happens during a wood burner annual service?

A wood burner service (£85 to £140) includes a full sweep, inspection of the stove and flue, and a check that everything is drawing and burning efficiently. It keeps your appliance safe and extends its life.
