No estimates over the phone, no surprises at the door. Sweep and appliance prices are per flue and include your certificate.
More than one flue at the same address — including a shared stack, twin flues or back-to-back fireplaces? Each flue is inspected, swept and priced separately, not the chimney as a whole. A Flue Inspection is £150 for the first flue and £110 for each further flue surveyed on the same visit. You can book up to four flues online; for five or more, call us so we can plan the visit properly.
The lining job itself isn't booked online — it's quoted once we've seen inside the flue on a Pre-Liner Survey, then arranged directly with us.
We cover the hearth and the floor in front of it before anything else. Dust control runs the whole time we're working.
Rotary power sweeping through the full flue, sized to your liner. Debris comes out into a sealed vacuum, not into your room.
Smoke draw test, plus a look over the appliance, rope seals and terminal. Camera survey if you've asked for one.
Your certificate is issued before we leave, and it goes onto your Flue Passport so it can't be lost.
Once a year for most wood and multi-fuel stoves. Heavier users, or anyone burning unseasoned wood, are better on twice a year. Open fires burning smokeless fuel are usually annual too. If you're not sure, we'll tell you honestly on the day.
No. Everything comes out through a sealed vacuum and the hearth is sheeted before we start. If we leave a mess, we haven't done the job properly.
Don't light the fire for 24 hours before we come, and clear a metre or so in front of the fireplace if you can. That's it.
Not as standard. A sweep includes a visual check and a smoke draw test, which is what most chimneys need. A full CCTV survey is a separate service, priced per flue — book it on its own, or just ask on the day and we'll tell you honestly whether it's worth it for your flue.
Yes, on the day, and it also goes onto your Flue Passport. Insurers increasingly ask for one after a chimney fire, so it's worth keeping.
On completion — card or cash, whichever suits. No deposit to book. Inspections are the exception; those are paid before we attend.
We'll show you on camera, explain what it means and what it would take to fix. No pressure, and no invented faults.
Not every chimney fault is inside the flue. Damp on the breast, mortar dust in the hearth or a pot that rocks in the wind are all masonry problems, and no amount of sweeping will settle them.
We rebuild stacks as well as sweep them — coping stones, flaunching, repointing and full chimney repairs across Glasgow and South Lanarkshire. Same firm, so nobody is guessing about the flue while the scaffolding is up.
Pick a slot that suits. No deposit — payment on completion.
