Description
It is extremely important to have your chimneys or log burner flues swept, at least annually, to remove soot and other debris which can help prevent chimney fires, and carbon monoxide poisoning. Having your chimney swept, also ensures you are complying with the conditions of your buildings insurance.
All Huntley Group’s chimney sweeps are CRB checked, and comprehensively trained, covering all aspects of work we carry out on a daily basis, so rest assure – you are in safe hands with us.
Our sweeps are all equipped with small quantities of firewood products on board their vehicles should you wish to purchase any at the same time as having your chimney swept. You will receive 10% off a firewood order when booking a chimney sweep with us. Firewood & Coal Archives • Huntley Group Ltd

What happens when your sweep visits?
A sweep takes on average around half an hour per chimney, assuming no unexpected nests or blockages. We ask only that you prepare enough room for our equipment: the area in front of the fire needs to be clear, ideally allowing an area of 2 metres (6 feet) squared.
After that, you can leave it to us:
-
We will place sheets over and around the fireplace to protect the room. If soft furnishings or delicate objects are close to the fireplace, we’ll ask you to please move or cover them
-
There is no need to cover all the furniture and surfaces in the room, our methods keep things as clean as possible – but if we are removing a nest, it’s a good idea to cover any nearby electrical items
-
We require a live 13 amp socket to plug in our commercial vacuum cleaner
-
The sweep will then work at the fireplace using brushes, rods and the vacuum to remove soot and other debris from the chimney. All of our sweeps use traditional methods of brush and vacuum but some also use rotary (or power) sweeping systems. They will choose the best option for cleaning your flue.
-
We will leave the fireplace clear and clean – and the chimney safe to use
Sometimes a chimney can be swept through an external hatch in the chimney breast, but it will still be necessary to have access to the house to ensure that no debris falls into the fireplace and that no soot enters the room during the sweep.
What’s the best time of year to have it done?
The best time to have a sweep is during the summer when you won’t want to use the fire. To ensure you’re up to date, we offer a reminder service and can arrange to contact you annually (or more frequently if required) to book your next visit from your local sweep. If you have a woodburner, we are able to service your stove during our off-peak months only – and we must sweep the woodburner flue at the same time.
How much will it cost?
Charges vary locally and some seasonal and/or volume discounts are offered. Please see price on description. Our sweeps are able to record any issues and will provide a certificate of sweeping by email upon payment. Find out a little more about Chimney Sweeps Chimney Sweeps and Climbing Boys – Historic UK
