Chimney services for managed residential buildings — Chimney sweep

Provide a schedule of affected dwellings and flues, known service records and the party authorised to arrange access. Explain whether work is routine maintenance or a shared defect investigation so appointments and reports correspond to the correct installations.

Service scope

Coordination of defined chimney inspections, maintenance or repairs across a managed residential property, with each flue and connected dwelling identified. Shared access, resident communication and responsibility for communal versus private components are part of the brief, not assumptions about the manager's authority.

What is normally included

  • Flue and dwelling scheduling
  • Resident-access coordination
  • Consolidated maintenance and findings records

What is not included

  • Assumed authority over every dwelling
  • Automatic responsibility for privately owned appliances

Typical tasks

  • Establish a flue schedule
  • Confirm work authorisation
  • Coordinate resident appointments
  • Carry out the specified services
  • Deliver traceable records and follow-up items

What to include in your brief

  • Building and dwelling schedule
  • Flue identification records
  • Management instruction
  • Resident-access arrangements
  • Required reporting and communication format

Choosing the right professional

Compare contractors on traceability and coordination as well as unit price. Ask how missed appointments, unidentified flues and individual appliance defects will be recorded without being mistaken for completed communal work.

Important considerations

  • Incorrect flue identification can misallocate findings
  • Shared and private responsibilities may differ by property and market
