Tens of thousands of chimney fires occur every year. Any time wood is burnt in a fireplace, soot and creosote are produced. Soot is sticky, black carbon particles, and creosote is an oily, flammable liquid tar. These byproducts cling to the inside of a chimney and can easily cause a chimney fire.
When we sweep your chimney stack we will fully seal the fireplace to stop any soot or debris entering the room. Once this has been achieved we will sweep the chimney. Any debris will be removed safely from the premises and disposed of. A smoke test will be carried out to ensure there is no blockage. A certificate will then be issued to confirm your chimney has been swept.
The average sweep can take up to 30 minutes depending on access and the condition of your stove and chimney.
Sweep & Service: 30-45 minutes (excluding any parts which may need to be ordered)
Yes, we can do a full camera assessment of your chimney, provide a report to highlight any safety issues and give recommendations to make your chimney safe.
The charge for a chimney inspection with report is £180.00. Drone surveys are £150 (£50ea for additional chimneys)
Appointment Times & Scheduling
Due to the nature of our work, we’re unable to guarantee specific arrival times for chimney sweeps. Our routes are planned dynamically to maximise efficiency, respond to urgent needs, and reduce our environmental impact.
Every appliance we service is different, and some may require more time and care to ensure safe, thorough maintenance. Our team is committed to working professionally and safely at every visit.
In rare instances, we may need to reschedule an appointment due to emergencies, adverse weather, or safety concerns. We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call us on 01458 251476.
Email Requirement for Certificates and Invoicing
To help us deliver your sweep certificate and invoice efficiently, we require a valid email address at the time of booking. This ensures prompt and environmentally friendly service, with all documents sent directly to your inbox.
To ensure your appointment is secured, we kindly ask that all chimney sweep services be paid for in advance. This allows us to confirm your booking and allocate the appropriate time and resources for your visit. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
If you send us a picture via email of what needs replacing – there is a chance we can bring the parts on the day and fit them for you. Naturally these would be charged as an extra.
Our sweep will carry certain spare parts with him, which if needed he can replace for you.
If our sweep does not have the spare parts on the van, or notices parts need replacing, then we will provide you with a quote via email.
For servicing we will require the manufacturer, model, type (MkI,II,etc) and age of your stove plus the serial number where possible.
If you do not have this information, we ask that you please take photos of your stove and submit them through our booking form.
We understand that things happen and you may need to change your schedule. Should you need to cancel your sweep appointment, please let us know as soon as possible by ringing 01458 251476 or by sending an email to sweeps@sandpitsheatingcentre.co.uk. The earlier you let us know, the sooner we can offer the appointment to someone who may be waiting for an emergency appointment to come available.
Where possible we will stick to the prices we have given you. However, there is always the unknown element to chimney sweeping. For example, if we find your chimneystack is blocked from top to bottom with birds nests then clearly this is beyond a normal chimney sweep and our chimney sweep will have to charge extra to cover his time beyond the normal sweep or reschedule to have a separate team attend for these works. At all times any extra works and associated costs will be fully discussed with you.
Unplanned works can mean other customers appointments are delayed and in some instances may need to be rescheduled. Though we understand that this can be frustrating, it is sometimes unavoidable. So we do ask that you make us aware of any situation that may require extra time and attention during your sweep to prevent unplanned additional costs and inconvenience to others.
If you have any questions or queries please do not hesitate to contact us 01458 251476.
