Soot removal and findings, kept separate
Getting to the chimney top for the sweep
Some parts of a sweep happen at the top: clearing the cap screen, looking into the flue and checking what sits on the chimney. That work waits until the roof can be reached and walked safely.
Tell us about roof coverings that crack underfoot, equipment mounted near the chimney or a gate that blocks ladder placement. If the top cannot be reached on the day, we clean from below and list what was left for another visit. You are not charged for top work that was not done.
Rotary cleaning tools and when they fit
Rotary cleaning uses a flexible rod spun by a drill, with whips or brush heads at the end. It can reach through bends and loosen stubborn soot. It can also scratch a metal liner or knock loose a weak tile joint if used on the wrong flue.
We use rotary tools only where the lining and its instructions allow them. On a listed metal chimney, the manufacturer's cleaning guidance decides the tool. Ask which method was used and why, and the answer should match your flue.
A flue that turns out to have no liner
Cleaning sometimes shows that a masonry flue has no lining, or that the lining stops partway up. Soot on bare brick looks different from soot on tile. An unlined flue is a finding in its own right, not a cleaning problem.
We explain what we saw and why the Florida Building Code's chimney chapter requires masonry chimneys to be lined. Any lining work is a separate estimate. Until you decide, we suggest not using the fireplace, and the written record says so plainly.
When earlier advice differs from ours
You may have been told something different by someone who looked at the chimney before. That happens, and it is worth talking through. Conditions change, and different visits can see different parts.
Show us the earlier findings if you have them. We explain what we saw, where we could see it and why our view may differ. The aim is to give you enough to decide, not to argue with another opinion. If the difference affects safe use, we say which parts we are confident about and which need a closer look.

Before you arrange a chimney sweep
How do you know which flue serves my fireplace?
We match each opening inside the house to the flues at the top before cleaning. Where the layout is unclear, we trace it from both ends. The estimate names the flues included so there is no doubt afterward.
What does the written record of the cleaning include?
It lists the openings and flues cleaned and the areas the brushes reached. It also names anything left unreached and any findings from the visual check. Findings are kept apart from the completed work so you can see both clearly.
Can you clean more than one fireplace on the same visit?
Yes. Tell us about each one when you book so the estimate lists every flue and opening. Each fireplace is its own line, and you choose which ones to include.
