Question 1

What happens when you come to sweep my chimney?

Accepted Answer

I seal the fireplace area with sheet plastic so no dust gets into your room, then carry out a full, systematic sweep using rods. I'll also check your log burner, and finish with a smoke test to make sure the flue is drawing properly.

Question 2

How much does a chimney sweep visit cost?

Accepted Answer

Every job is straightforward to quote over the phone or on the day - just give me a call and I'll let you know what's involved before I start.

Question 3

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm fully insured for the work I carry out.

Question 4

How long does a chimney sweep take?

Accepted Answer

A typical sweep and log burner service takes a couple of hours, depending on the condition of the chimney and burner. I won't rush it - the aim is to do the job properly.

Question 5

How do you know if there's a real problem with my chimney or burner?

Accepted Answer

I don't just sweep and leave. Every visit includes a smoke test, and if that flags anything unusual I'll put a camera up the chimney to see exactly what's happening, then show you the photos and explain what needs doing.

Question 6

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

I cover Montgomery and the surrounding villages and towns, including Newtown, Welshpool, Church Stretton and Bishop's Castle. Get in touch if you're not sure whether you're in range.
