What goes into cleaning your chimney
Deciding what happens after the cleaning
Some cleanings end with a clean flue and nothing else to discuss. Others turn up a cracked tile, a stuck damper or a worn cap screen. We explain each finding, whether it affects safe use and whether it can wait.
You decide which items to take further. Each one receives its own estimate, and none is added to the cleaning invoice without your approval. Where a finding rules out using the fireplace before a repair, we say so directly and put it in writing.
Where residue collects in the flue
Deposits are not spread evenly. They tend to gather where smoke cools and slows. That can be the upper part of a flue on an outside wall, the smoke chamber or a bend. Listed metal chimney instructions note that residue condenses in a relatively cool flue.
That is why the whole reachable length is brushed, not only the part visible from the firebox. When we describe the result, we say where the heaviest material was. It hints at where your flue runs coolest and where to look first next time.
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.
The throat between firebox and smoke chamber
The throat is the narrow opening where the firebox meets the smoke chamber, usually where the damper sits. Soot and flakes build up on its edges and can partly close it. Smoke then struggles to leave, especially as a fire starts.
Cleaning clears the throat along with the damper frame. If the throat is misshapen or partly blocked by masonry, brushing cannot change that. We describe the shape we found and whether it is likely to affect how the fireplace draws.

Sweep and cleaning questions, answered plainly
What if part of the flue cannot be reached?
We tell you where the unreached section is and why, and the written record notes it. You are not told the flue is clean when part of it went unbrushed. We also explain whether that section affects safe use.
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.
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.
