WHAT CHIMNEY WORK COVERS
Chimney services cover the flue, the firebox and everything between them: removing what has built up inside the chimney, assessing the structure and its connections, and clearing obstructions from the run.
These services are for owners and managers of properties with a working fireplace, insert, stove or connected appliance flue — single dwellings, commercial buildings and multi-unit properties alike.
CHIMNEY SERVICES
WE PROVIDE.
Sweeping, inspection and creosote removal for fireplaces and flues. Each service below has its own page setting out what it covers.
Chimney work is scoped against the chimney in front of us rather than a standard package. A single open fireplace on a short flue and a shared stack serving several appliances are different jobs, and the service you need depends on which one you have.
WHAT SETS THE SCOPE.
Four things change what a chimney job involves more than anything else. Include what you know when you send a request.
Appliance type
An open fireplace, an insert and a wood stove each connect to the flue differently.
Flue construction
Liner material, height and the number of offsets set what can be reached.
Access
Whether the work is done from the firebox, the roof, or both.
Deposit condition
Loose, hardened and glazed deposits call for different methods.
WHAT IS WORTH KNOWING FIRST.
Three questions that come before picking a service — each answered in full on its own page.
Sweep or Inspection? Which Chimney Service Fits the Situation Six different pieces of work get described as "chimney cleaning". Which one applies depends on what you have noticed, not on which is cheapest to book.
How Often Should a Chimney Be Swept? The honest answer is that sweeping runs on deposits, not on the calendar — but the inspection that tells you which you need does run annually.
Chimney Inspection Levels: What 1, 2 and 3 Actually Cover The three levels are defined in a public standard, and which one applies is decided by the circumstances rather than by what anyone would prefer to sell.
CHIMNEY — COMMON QUESTIONS.
If your question isn't here, send it with an estimate request and we'll answer it directly.
Chimney sweeping, chimney inspection, creosote removal, fireplace cleaning, animal and nest removal, and chimney odor removal. Each has its own page with the scope set out.
Yes. Residential and commercial properties are both covered, including multi-unit buildings. Property type is one of the things that sets the scope of a job rather than a separate service.
A sweep removes what has built up — soot, creosote and debris — from the flue, smoke chamber and firebox. An inspection assesses the chimney instead: the structure, the flue and the connection to the appliance. They are listed and scoped separately.
Yes. Scope covers open fireplaces, inserts and wood-burning stoves, along with the flues serving connected appliances. Which one you have is one of the things that sets the scope.
Either, and often both. Access is one of the four things that decide what a job involves: some work is reached through the firebox, some at the termination on the roof.
The appliance type, roughly how the flue is built and where it terminates, and what you have noticed. Those are the details that change what the job involves.
