Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need my chimney cleaned?

Making sure your chimney has an annual clean is the general rule. Of course it often will also depend on what you have been burning, and how. Before or after the winter months is the ideal time to have your chimney swept -  this will help to minimise the corrosive effects of creosote residues and condensation during the warmer months…or to move on the native residents who might have nested through the summer!

How long have you been a chimney sweep? 

I have been sweeping chimneys since I was a lad in England, some of those dating back to the 17th Century! It's been about 19 years in the trade now.

Will it make a mess?

Soot is certainly a messy business however with all the correct equipment I will leave your home just as I found it... less the soot in your chimney! 

Can I have a receipt?

Of course, just ask.

There is a standard price for a chimney sweeping however please give me a call for a quote.
