Most people don’t think about their chimney until there’s a problem. However, it’s important to have your chimney swept on a regular basis to prevent buildup of soot and creosote. Chimney sweeps are trained professionals who use rod & brush along with HEPA rated vacuum to clean your chimney.

Sweeping your chimney is relatively inexpensive, and it’s a good way to avoid more costly repairs down the road. Having you re flue cleaned extends its life. In addition, sweeps can also inspect your chimney for any potential problems.

A Recognised certificate is issued with every sweep

All Chimney Sweeps are required to have a valid Insurance Recognised Certificate, which is issued with every sweep. This certificate will log the details of the appliance/ flue and any recommended remedial work will be noted. Many insurance providers now insist on a Certificate of Chimney Sweeping. This is also perfect for keeping records of when your chimney has received maintenance and will help to schedule future chimney sweeps.
