Question 1

How does a chimney sweep with you work?

Accepted Answer

I arrive at the agreed time, sheet down the hearth area, then power sweep the chimney, stove or range to clear soot and debris. If there's a concern about the flue, I can carry out a CCTV inspection too.

Question 2

How much does a chimney sweep cost?

Accepted Answer

Every job is quoted for individually, and out of hours appointments may be available on request - just get in touch and I'll confirm the price before any work starts.

Question 3

Are you insured and qualified?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm a qualified member of the Chimney Sweep Academy and issue a certificate for every chimney I sweep.

Question 4

How long does a sweep take?

Accepted Answer

Most sweeps are completed within an hour, though this depends on the chimney, whether it's lined or pot-lined, and if a CCTV inspection is needed.

Question 5

Can you tell me if there's a problem with my flue?

Accepted Answer

Yes - alongside the sweep I offer CCTV camera inspections, which let me check inside the flue for cracks, blockages, bird nests or other damage.

Question 6

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

I cover Pickering and the surrounding Ryedale area, as well as Whitby and nearby towns and villages.
