The Chimney Sweep Process

Preparation

• We would kindly ask if you could clear sufficient space to sweep
• Clear the grate and hearth of any old fuel ash
• It is advisable to remove ornaments from the mantle and hearth
• Please leave your fire unlit at least 24 hours prior to our arrival

We always work in a clean and tidy manner so your chimney will be fully sealed to stop any soot or debris entering the room.

The Sweep

After fully preparing the area with dust sheets your chimney will be swept with professional brushes and rods from bottom to top. All soot is collected in the fireplace behind a dust sheet.

It is then vacuumed with our industrial machine, we inspect and check the chimney and a smoke test is carried out to ensure your chimney is drawing efficiently and safely. An ICS chimney safety certificate is issued to show that your chimney has been professionally cleaned by a qualified chimney sweep.

The certificate is a guarantee of our work and is particularly useful for insurance purposes and if you are selling or letting your property.
