Soot removal and findings, kept separate
Looking at the hearth after the cleaning
In front of the opening sits the hearth extension, a floor of material that will not burn. It catches sparks and embers that escape the firebox. During cleaning it is covered, and afterward we look at it for cracks or gaps.
A gap along the joint between the hearth and the floor can let embers reach wood or carpet beneath. We note the condition and explain whether it affects use. Repairs to the hearth are their own item, discussed and priced before any work.
Gaps between flue tiles seen after brushing
Clay flue tiles meet at mortar joints. After cleaning, gaps in those joints are easier to see. Heat and smoke can move through an open joint toward the masonry and framing around the flue.
We note any gap we can see and say how far into the flue we could look. Repairing joints, resurfacing or relining are separate decisions with their own estimates. The right one depends on how many joints are open and what the lining is made of. Until you decide, we explain whether the fireplace should be used.
Timing the cleaning around your plans
Book the cleaning for a time before you plan to use the fireplace, not the morning after a fire. The firebox needs to be cold, and findings may need time to be dealt with. A little lead time keeps both simple.
If you have a date in mind for the next fire, tell us. We can plan the visit so that any repair found has room to be discussed and, if you approve it, scheduled. Rushing a repair to meet a date rarely helps the chimney.
When the cleaning scope changes partway through
Sometimes the flue holds more than the free inspection could show. A hidden blockage or a glazed layer above the reach of a light are examples. When that happens, we stop and explain what changed before going further.
You then choose whether to add the new item, leave it for later or stop the cleaning where it is. The estimate is updated in writing before any added work begins. Nothing new appears on the bill that you did not agree to.

Asking about chimney cleaning in Coral Shores
Can you remove a bird nest during a chimney cleaning?
Not while it is active if the birds are protected. We identify what is there before any brushing. Once the flue is empty and can lawfully be worked on, the nest material comes out as part of the cleaning.
Is a chimney cleaning the same as a chimney inspection?
No. A cleaning removes deposits and ends with a look at what the brushes reached. An inspection evaluates the chimney and fireplace as a system. They can be booked together, with the cleaning done ahead of the evaluation.
What should I tell you when booking a chimney sweep?
Give us the number of fireplaces and which ones you use. Add any manual or model label, recent smoke or smell, and access notes for the roof or gate. Anything you do not know, we find out during the free inspection.
