The cleaning work from cap screen to firebox
When the blockage may be an animal
Scratching, calling or movement inside the chimney changes the plan. An occupied flue is not swept until the animal question is settled. Some species are protected, and some nests cannot be disturbed while active. Do not light a fire or use smoke to drive an animal out.
Tell us what you have heard and when it started. We explain the next step, which may be a wait, a referral or an animal removal visit handled on its own terms. Cleaning follows once the flue is empty and can be worked on.
The visual check that closes a chimney sweep
Once the flue is clean, its surfaces are easier to read. We look at everything the brushes reached, with a light where needed, and note cracks, gaps, missing mortar or damaged parts. This check belongs to the cleaning and is limited to what is visible from the openings.
It is not a full evaluation of the chimney. Concealed parts, the structure inside walls and conditions a light cannot reach sit outside it. If the check raises a question that needs a broader look, we say so and explain how a chimney inspection would answer it.
What a chimney maintenance visit can include
A maintenance visit is a planned look at a chimney that is in regular use. It can include cleaning, a check of the cap screen and damper, and a conversation about any change you have noticed. The scope is agreed before the visit, like any other job.
Tell us which parts matter most to you. Some households mainly want the flue kept clear, while others want the damper and cap looked at each time. We write down what each visit covered, so the next one starts from the record rather than from memory.
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.
What is and is not part of the sweep
- Top access plan agreed in advance
- Blockage identified before any brushing
- Cap and damper repairs quoted separately
- Refractory panels brushed gently
Sweep and cleaning questions, answered plainly
Can the free inspection and the sweep happen on one visit?
It can. We look at the fireplace and flue and give you the estimate. If you approve it and the scope allows, we clean on the same visit. If a separate item needs deciding, the cleaning can wait until you are ready.
Will soot end up on my furniture or floors?
It should not. The hearth and route are covered, the opening is sealed while the flue is brushed, and debris is bagged in the firebox. If you notice soot where it should not be afterward, tell us and we come back to deal with it.
Is the cleaning covered by your workmanship warranty?
Yes. The warranty covers the work we did, which the written record describes. If something we handled does not work as it should afterward, tell us and we come back to look at it.
