Wilkins Chimney Sweep

All our sweeps are fully insured, carrying a minimum of 2 million public liability as well as professional indemnity insurance. They also each have a full, clean police check before they start with us. We provide a professional, fully insured chimney sweeping service for all types of chimney, using brushes and a vacuum, and where appropriate rotary power sweeping equipment, to keep your property as clean when we leave as it was when we arrived. We also provide a range of related services such as fitting cages, caps & cowls and removing nests & other blockages.

We pride ourselves on providing a clean, reliable and friendly service that offers great value and minimum fuss. We've been sweeping chimneys for more than 120 years, and we don't think we could have been in this business for that long without being rather good at it! Personable and professional, our sweeps operate to the highest standards in the industry thanks to comprehensive training and regular reassessments of their standards. As well as a clear police check, each is covered by a minimum of 2m public liability insurance and also has professional indemnity insurance.

Chimneys with solid fuel appliances: smokeless fuels at least once a year / domestic bituminous coal at least twice a year / woodburning every three months when in use. Chimneys with gas appliances: once a year, plus they should be checked by a Gas Safe technician. Chimneys with oil appliances: once a year, plus they should be checked by an OFTEC technician. Birds often drop debris into the chimney, and some like to make it their home: sweeping ensures that your chimney flues remain clear and are safe to use, helping to guard against chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning.

Our sweeps, as a matter of course, wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), wear Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) and protect customers' possessions with floor coverings and measures to control dust and dirt. They have many years of experience of working cleanly, not touching your property and leaving no trace of our visit. The actions we have taken mean that when employing a Wilkins Chimney Sweep to carry out work within your home, you can be confident that they will have appropriate knowledge, will follow safe working practices and use suitable equipment to ensure that risks are minimised as far as is practicable.
