Manual Chimney Sweeping
Our Manual Chimney Sweeping service uses a variety of specialist brush heads tailored to specific situations. These brush heads are connected to rods which are carefully inserted into the chimney and then moved in a back-and-forth, twisting motion to effectively remove debris. We typically use this system for more delicate masonry chimneys and metal flues to ensure thorough cleaning without causing damage.

Rotory Power Chimney Sweeping
In addition to our manual system, we also employ a more advanced method that uses a battery drill to power the spinning of the brush head. Rotary power provides more efficient and effective removal of deposits from liners than traditional manual sweeping. We highly recommend this system whenever possible to ensure optimal cleaning results.

Removal of Chimney Blockages
There are several causes of blockages that can prevent smoke from effectively exiting the chimney or flue. Some simple causes include the incorrect cowl being fitted to the top of the chimney pot, or the chimney being capped off and left unused for an extended period of time. In such cases, we can help by removing the old cowl and fitting a suitable replacement. We offer a range of different cowls to suit varying situations.
Bird’s nests are another common cause of blockages in chimneys, and we are equipped to remove them safely and efficiently. However, the size of the nest can impact the duration of the removal process.
Defective masonry or linings within the chimney can also cause blockages. In such cases, we utilize CCTV inspections and surveys to investigate the issue and provide suitable recommendations to address the blockage.
