Chimney sweeping — Chimney sweep — Professionals
Routine sweeping is suitable where the appliance and flue can be identified and safely accessed. Providers should distinguish normal deposit removal from nest extraction or repair and explain when findings require the appliance to be assessed by another competent specialist.
Service scope
Professional removal of accessible soot and deposits from the specified chimney or flue as a maintenance service. The provider must match the approach to the appliance and flue construction; sweeping is distinct from relining, combustion analysis or proving that all concealed sections are sound.
What is normally included
- Preparation and protection of the work area
- Sweeping of the identified flue
- Recording accessible observations
What is not included
- Automatic repair of damaged liners
- Assumed inspection of every concealed chimney surface
Qualification checks
- Identify the connected flue
- Review cleaning history
- Check access restrictions
- Clarify room-protection needs
- Agree treatment of unexpected obstructions
Quote guidance
Price the specified flue and access arrangement, with extraordinary blockage work or additional inspection identified separately. Avoid implying that an inexpensive maintenance visit includes extensive roof access or relining.
Lead risks
- Hidden obstructions can change visit duration
- The customer may request inspection evidence that is outside sweeping scope
