How a chimney sweep in Westwood Lakes is carried out
Clear a route from the entrance to the hearth
Equipment for a chimney cleaning travels in and debris travels out, so the route between the entrance and the fireplace matters. Move rugs, small tables and anything fragile from that path if you can do so safely. Tell us about narrow doorways, stairs or a finished floor you want protected.
Leave heavy furniture where it is. We plan the covers and the work area around what is in the room and ask before moving anything ourselves. A clear route shortens set-up and lowers the chance of soot traveling beyond the hearth.
Loose soot and hardened deposits are separate jobs
Most deposits in a used flue are dry soot or flaky residue that a brush can lift. Some deposits harden into a glossy coating that a brush slides over. The difference matters, because the two need different methods and carry different prices.
Brushing handles the loose material and is the core of a sweep. When a glazed layer remains, we show you where it is and explain the separate treatment it needs. That treatment is priced as its own item, and you decide whether to go ahead with it.
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.
Booking chimney cleaning in Westwood Lakes after the inspection
The visit begins with a free inspection at your home in Westwood Lakes. We look at the fireplace and flue, then write an estimate that names what the cleaning covers and what would be separate.
Approve the work within 72 hours of that free inspection and 10% comes off the service you book. The window opens at your own inspection rather than on a set date. Ask us to confirm the amount on the estimate before you decide. The offer covers any service you book in that window, not only the sweep.

Common chimney sweeping questions
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.
Do I need to be home for the whole cleaning?
Someone should be there to let us in, confirm the scope and hear the results. In between, you can step out if we can reach you by phone. Any new item waits for your answer rather than being added.
Is the cap screen cleaned as part of the sweep?
Yes, when the top can be reached safely. We brush the mesh and clear the opening. A torn, rusted or loose screen is noted and priced as a separate repair rather than patched without your approval.
