How our chimney sweeping service works

Our chimney cleaning service provides homeowners with a thorough and reliable way to keep their chimney and firebox in good condition. Upon arrival at the customer’s home, we perform an initial inspection of the lining and firebox to check for any signs of damage or frequent use which may be causing soot and debris to accumulate. This allows us to identify any potential problems that may need to be addressed before starting our cleaning service.

Once we have identified any potential issues, we move onto the next step which is to isolate the fireplace and firebox from the rest of the house with plastic sheeting. This is done to ensure that any soot and debris created during the cleaning process are kept within the designated area and not spread throughout the house.

Next, we take a thorough sweep of the lining of the chimney. This includes removing all built up soot and creosote, leaving the chimney free of any potential obstructions from the outside. We then clean the firebox and stove using vacuum and specialized cleaning products to ensure all loose debris is cleared away, and the fireplace is ready for use.

By the end of this process, your firebox and chimney lining are looking spotless, with no unwanted build-up or debris. This process can help to prevent costly repairs in the future and give you peace of mind that your firebox is in a safe and working condition.

We understand the importance of providing our customers with a high-quality and reliable service. Our team of professionals have years of experience within the industry and work hard to ensure a speedy, professional job each and every time. In addition to this, we are available to answer any questions or queries you may have and provide helpful advice whenever needed.

For those in need of a thorough chimney cleaning, our service is the perfect option. We take the hassle out of keeping your firebox in a safe, working condition, so you can enjoy your fireplace with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below are some of the common questions about chimney sweeping we get asked by homeowners in Berkshire.

How often should a chimney be swept?

The frequency that a chimney should be swept depends largely on the type of fuel and how often it is used. Generally speaking, a wood-burning chimney should be swept at least once a year to remove any residue build-up, while oil and gas systems should be checked and swept at least once every two years. Depending on usage, chimneys burning smokeless coal should also be swept at least once a year, while those burning bituminous coal should be swept twice a year. It is important to adhere to the manufacturer’s guidelines regarding usage and maintenance of your particular appliance.

What should I expect from a professional chimney sweep?

A qualified, professional chimney sweep Berkshire should be knowledgeable, experienced and courteous. When they arrive at your property they should be in protective clothing, including gloves and a mask, and all sweeping should be performed with dust sheets set up. They should be able to gladly answer all of your questions, and they should be able to inspect the flue and the inside of the chimney to make sure they and you are kept safe during the cleaning process. Generally speaking they should be a member of a recognised association.

How much does a chimney sweep cost?

The price of a chimney sweep Berkshire will vary dramatically based on the type of fuel being used, the size of the chimney and the complexity of the job.

If you require a chimney sweep, the normal cost is between £50 and £80. If your chimney has an open fire, the cost of sweeping is usually between £60 and £100, while those with a lined stove can expect to pay approximately £80 – £120. Lastly, for those with unlined stoves, the cost of sweeping is slightly higher and is likely to be around £90 – £150.

Is there any way to minimise the amount of cleaning my chimney requires?

To minimise the amount of chimney sweeping you need to do, it is important to burn the right fuel – this will depend on the type of appliance you are using – and to make sure that you use it the right way. Avoid having inefficient fires, and make sure the fire is never left alight while unsupervised. There are also chimney guards and cowls that can help to prevent birds nesting in the chimney and build-up of soot and debris.

Should I light a fire immediately after a sweep?

Generally, it is recommended that you wait 24 hours before lighting a fire after a chimney has been swept, as this allows residue to settle back down before smoke is produced. Depending on the complexity of the sweep, however, this wait time will differ, so it is important to follow the advice of your professional chimney sweep.

Can I sweep my chimney myself?

Sweeping your own chimney can be a dangerous and difficult task that is best left to the professionals. Not only could you cause serious damage to your chimney, but you may also be putting yourself and your property in danger without the necessary safety equipment.
