How Long Will A Chimney Sweep Take?Our standard chimney sweep typically takes 1.5 hours. When there is extra precaution needed to keep the area clean or there is more soot than usual, we'll need to take extra time to do the job properly. Also in these circumstances there’s no extra charge. Please note these are typical durations and may be slightly longer/shorter depending on the circumstances of each visit. *Between September & April Only

How Often Should I Sweep My Chimney?When used by a solid fuel appliance such as a woodturning or multi-fuel stove. You should have your chimney swept at least once a year. This applies whether you have a standard brick chimney as well as if you have a liner or twin wall flue system. Depending on usage you may wish to have sweeps more frequently, such as before and after winter when stoves are used the most, however this isn't required.

Are You Insured?Absolutely! I have full liability insurance up to £2,000,000 and professional indemnity insurance cover of £100,000. So you can relax knowing you have nothing to worry about.

What Precautions Will You Take To Keep The Room Clean?We treat your home with the utmost care during your service. In rooms with carpets, an additional specialised plastic sheeting is used to completely protect your flooring, ensuring nothing will come into contact with your carpets. We also use other equipment such as a hearth sheet and a stove blanking sheet, which seals the stove off completely stopping any soot escaping during your service. If protection is required for areas such as the hallway we'll also make sure to keep those areas protected too.
