Chimney Sweeping

The job of a chimney sweep is to help prevent chimney fires and reduce the risk of harmful emissions that are produced by heating appliances from blocked, partially blocked and damaged chimneys.

The chimney will be fully sealed to stop any soot or debris entering the room. The chimney will then be swept and any debris and soot will be removed from the premises. A smoke test will then be carried out and a certificate issued.

We also give advice on cowls and chimney pots plus do measurements for installation of stoves and other fireplace accessories.
