Sweeping the flue and the parts around it

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.

Booking a sweep and an inspection together

Some households want the flue cleaned and the whole chimney evaluated on the same visit. The two can be combined, with the cleaning done ahead of the evaluation so the lining is visible. The estimate then prices the cleaning and the evaluation on separate lines.

Tell us the reason for the wider look, such as a change in how the fireplace performs or plans to use it more. That purpose shapes what is examined. The written record keeps the cleaning results and the evaluation findings apart.

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.

Clean-up on the roof and around the house

Top work can shake loose soot, flakes of mortar or bits of old mesh. We cover what we can near the chimney before working and gather what falls onto the roof. Gutters and walkways below get a look before we leave.

Everything collected goes into the same bags as the debris from inside, and it all leaves with us. If something on the roof was already damaged before we arrived, we point it out rather than stay silent about it.

Items in a chimney cleaning visit

  • Ash removal and bagged debris
  • Brush choice matched to the lining
  • Cleanout opening emptied where present
  • Top access plan agreed in advance

What people ask before a flue cleaning

Why do you look at the flue after it is brushed?

Soot hides the surface. Once it is off, cracks, gaps and damaged parts are easier to see. That visual check is limited to what the brushes reached, and anything it raises is explained separately.

What if a repair is needed before I can use the fireplace?

We tell you directly and write it on the record. The repair gets its own estimate, and you decide when to go ahead. Until it is done, we suggest keeping the fireplace unused.

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.
