Services
Chimney sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot and debris from open fires, woodburners, and gas/oil flues. Using traditional rods, brushes, and the Viper system, we ensure thorough cleaning while protecting your property's air quality with HEPA filtration. Each sweep includes a safety inspection and written recommendations.
Safety checks
We conduct comprehensive safety checks for carbon monoxide risks and fire hazards. Our inspections cover appliance functionality, flue integrity, and compliance with safety standards. Customers receive written reports detailing any issues and recommended maintenance schedules.
HEPA vacuum service
Our multi-stage HEPA vacuum system captures fine particles during sweeping, maintaining indoor air quality. This technology prevents soot dispersion while protecting furnishings. The system operates continuously during cleaning to ensure a mess-free experience for homeowners.
Certificate issuance
After each service, we provide a certificate confirming chimney cleaning and safety compliance. This document meets buildings insurance requirements and includes the sweep date, findings, and maintenance recommendations. Certificates are issued in writing for customer records.
Flue inspection
We inspect all flue types including stainless steel, brick, and flexible liners. Our assessment identifies blockages, corrosion, or structural issues affecting performance. Inspections inform necessary cleaning frequency and maintenance schedules tailored to each property's usage patterns.
Questions
How often should I have my chimney swept?
We recommend sweeping open fires quarterly, woodburners monthly during use, and gas/oil flues annually. Frequency depends on fuel type and usage patterns to maintain safety and efficiency.
Why is early chimney sweeping important?
Early sweeping between April–June removes winter residue before nests form. This timing ensures clear flues for summer ventilation and prevents blockages that could lead to carbon monoxide risks in colder months.
What areas do you cover?
We serve central Bristol and surrounding areas within 10 miles of BS5 6PF. This includes suburban and rural properties where traditional chimney maintenance remains essential for heating systems.
What happens during a chimney sweep?
We seal the fireplace, protect floors, then use appropriate tools to clean flues. A HEPA vacuum captures soot while brushes remove deposits. The process concludes with a certificate and written recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
Do you offer discounts for multiple flues?
Yes – sweep one chimney and receive £10 off additional flues cleaned during the same visit. This applies to properties with multiple heating appliances requiring simultaneous maintenance.
Are your services insurance-compliant?
Our sweeps meet buildings insurance requirements. Each service includes a certificate confirming cleaning and safety checks, which homeowners can submit to insurers as proof of responsible maintenance.
