Chimney Sweeping
Having your chimney swept regularly is the best way to help prevent the risk of a chimney fire.
The price for the annual sweep of a standard working chimney will typically be between £60 – £80 depending on condition, size and flue access.
Discounts may apply for multiple sweeps on the same property or immediate neighbours.
