Price £95

 

All work is completed to the standards of The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps. After payment, an insurance-recognized Certificate of Sweeping from The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps will be issued.

Additional work, such as bird nest removal or stove repairs, will incur extra charges.

For properties taller than two storeys, an additional service charge of £15 will apply per extra storey.

If nails are found in the stove (commonly due to burning wood that contains nails), an additional charge of £10 will be applied. This is due to the extra time required to safely remove the nails, as well as the risk of damage to hoover filters and equipment should a nail be vacuumed accidentally.
