Where this work happens

The part of the chimney chimney cleaning deals with

The highlighted part is the focus of this service. We still photograph the rest, so nothing is missed.

  1. CapKeeps rain, leaves and animals out of the flue and stops sparks landing on the roof. Caps & Waterproofing →
  2. CrownThe concrete slab on top of the stack. Once it cracks, water goes straight into the masonry below. Chimney Repair & Repointing →
  3. Flue linerCarries smoke and exhaust safely up and out. Cracked or missing liners are the most common hidden problem. Liners & Relining →
  4. MasonryBrick or stone and mortar. Freeze-thaw cycles open the joints first, then the bricks start to spall. Chimney Repair & Repointing →
  5. FlashingMetal that seals the joint between the chimney and the roof, and the source of most leaks. Caps & Waterproofing →

Chimney Cleaning questions

Before you book

How long does a sweep take?
Most single-flue sweeps take one to two hours including set-up, the camera check and clean-up. A stack with several flues, or a stove with a long liner, takes longer.
Will it make a mess?
It should not. The hearth is covered, a HEPA vacuum runs the whole time, and the room is left as it was found.
Do I need to stop using the fireplace beforehand?
Let the fire go out the night before so the firebox is cold. Ashes can stay; we remove them.
