What’s the difference between a sweep and an inspection?

A sweep physically cleans soot and creosote from the chimney. An inspection uses cameras and visual checks to assess the flue, liner, cap and structure for damage. Our Complete Care package includes both.

Can you sweep gas fireplaces and wood heaters too?

Yes, we service freestanding wood heaters, in-built combustion stoves, open fireplaces and gas log fireplaces.

What happens if you find a problem with my chimney?

We'll show you the issue (often with camera photos), explain it clearly, and quote any repair work in writing. You're never obligated to proceed.

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

Just clear a small space around your fireplace and make sure the fire has been out for at least 12 hours. We bring all drop sheets, vacuums and protective gear.
