Camera inspection of a chimney or flue — Chimney sweep — Professionals
Camera inspections suit enquiries with a clear diagnostic question and access plan. Providers should label the inspected flue and sections, distinguish observation from interpretation and avoid reporting a whole-installation pass when only part of the interior was visible.
Service scope
Visual examination of reachable internal chimney or flue surfaces using suitable camera equipment, with findings recorded for a defined inspection purpose. Camera visibility depends on access, route and deposits; images cannot establish every hidden structural condition or replace a separately specified performance test.
What is normally included
- Camera-access planning
- Internal visual recording where accessible
- Report of visible observations and limitations
What is not included
- Guaranteed visibility behind a liner
- Automatic confirmation of combustion performance
Qualification checks
- Confirm which flue is inspected
- Define required image coverage
- Assess access and visibility constraints
- Review prior cleaning requirements
- Agree how limitations appear in the report
Quote guidance
Separate attendance, camera survey and reporting, and clarify whether preparatory cleaning or return visits are included. Any repair recommendation should have its own scope instead of being treated as part of the inspection price.
Lead risks
- Clients may expect images to prove inaccessible construction
- Poor access can prevent the intended inspection coverage
