Why use Chim Chimney chimney sweeps?
There is no requirement for anyone to have any formal training as a chimney sweep, many people start up as a chimney sweep with no experience and very little equipment. There are different sized flues in chimneys, some are lined with flexible metal liners, clay liners, concrete liners or just a standard brick construction and all of these different types of flues need the correct sized brushes and correct rods to sweep them otherwise the flue might be damaged.

I have the correct equipment and have done a 4 year apprenticeship with a 3rd generation chimney sweep who has over 30 years experience himself, this knowledge has been passed on to me and you will in turn benefit by having your chimney cleaned properly, with the correct equipment and with the minimum of disruption.

Today's sweep needs to do a clean job, I cover the hearth and surrounding area with dust sheets to protect your home, then I mask off the chimney with a special cloth which enables me to sweep the chimney and keep all the soot contained within the fireplace which is then vacuumed out.

Once I have cleaned the chimney I do a smoke evacuation test to check for any problems.

Don't let anyone fool you by telling you rods and brushes are the old fashioned way to sweep, this is still the only way to clean a chimney, a vacuum alone WILL NOT clean a chimney.

So if you would like a clean, professional service please give me a call and I will arrive at the time I agree with you.

Recommended sweeping times:
Smokeless Fuel - Once per year
Coal - Twice per year
Wood (Please ensure it is well seasoned to avoid tar) - Quarterly when in use
Gas - Once per year
Oil - Once per year
