Sweeping a chimney can be very messy, though we will do everything possible to ensure that your property is left in a clean and tidy state. Our sweeps are highly professional and will be able to clean any mess created to quickly resolve the problem. We also have public liability insurance. On some occasions, chimneys are not swept often enough. In other instances, there could be a known issue such as a blockage, birds nest, or damage. In these instances, we advise our customers to remove valuables from the room and sheet up surfaces with plastic poly sheets before your sweeps arrive. It would be a good idea to tell the sweep about any known problems or issues before they begin work.
