Fireplaces & Flues- 18 Sep 2016
Sean was a joy to work with. He contacted me within 24 hours of me posting a job, within the next 24 hours he was down to check it out. He had no problems working with a very difficult structural engineer and always stayed professional. He made sure to always keep me informed about a very single detail even though this was never required of him and kept me updated and always advised on the best possible options whenever we uncovered a surprise (i.e. Hidden gas pipes, missing joists, rotten joists, thin external walls) during the removal of both chimneys in my house. I'd definitely hire Sean again in the future for any brick related work.

Roofing (Pitched)- 26 Feb 2016
Paul came out to look at job promptly, was very helpful explaining my options as can be difficult to pinpoint roof problems but saying if I chose cheaper option and it didn't work he would take that price off doing the next bit of work. Paul arrived to do job when he said he would and left everywhere tidy. Paul discovered when he was up there he didn't need to do something he had originally quoted for and took £60 off the bill even though he did other minor repair bits that he wasn't expecting to. This work did solve my main problem. Paul has also fitted new gutter and soffit to the front of my property as a separate job. Again he worked efficiently and left the place immaculate and very pleased with the work carried out. I still have one problem with a leak in one place which Paul is trying to sort for me. He has been out to do a repair job to rear soffit for which he refused to charge me. We are now waiting to see if this has resolved the problem but if it doesn't I have every confidence in Paul that he will not give up until he has corrected it for me. No pressure there Paul! I would highly recommend Paul as someone who is friendly, efficient, reasonably priced and can be trusted to do a good job. Excellent customer service and work. I am very pleased that I hired Paul and would definitely use him again.

Kieran did an awesome job of both enlarging my loft hatch, fitting a loft ladder and both tiling and flooring my bathroom. He is super helpful and a really nice guy who will always do his utmost to make sure the client is happy. Kieran has also done work for two of my neighbours who can't speak highly enough of his work.

Questions to ask local chimney sweeps before hiring

Do you have insurance?

It’s always a good idea to check that the sweep carries public liability insurance. Chimney work involves working at height, handling soot and debris, and potential fire hazards. Insurance protects both you and the professional in case of accidents or property damage.

Do you provide inspections or reports?

For older chimneys or unusual setups, it’s worth asking if they offer detailed inspections or CCTV surveys. A written report can highlight structural issues, blockages, or safety concerns, giving you peace of mind and documentation for insurance purposes.

Have you worked with my type of fireplace or stove?

Some chimney sweeps specialise in wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, or traditional open fires. Confirming experience with your type of chimney or appliance ensures the work is done correctly and efficiently.

How often should my chimney be swept or serviced?

Chimney sweeps can advise on a maintenance schedule based on the type of fuel you use and how often you burn it. Regular chimney cleaning helps prevent soot buildup, reduces the risk of chimney fires, and ensures your stove or fireplace operates efficiently.

What safety precautions do you take?

Ask about dust containment, fire prevention measures, and how they handle wildlife or obstructions. The right chimney sweep will take steps to protect your home and ensure their work complies with safety standards.

FAQ: Your questions about chimney sweeps answered

Do chimney sweeps need specific qualifications?

No, chimney sweeps aren’t legally required to hold formal qualifications, but many complete training with organisations such as HETAS, NACS, or APICS to demonstrate their competence. Choosing a chimney sweep with recognised training gives you confidence that the work meets industry best practices and safety standards. At MyBuilder, we also verify that all tradespeople, whether sole traders or companies, are properly qualified for regulated work or have the necessary expertise, which we assess through an online skills check.

How long does a chimney sweep take?

A standard chimney sweep usually takes 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the chimney type, buildup, and whether any additional checks are needed.

Can a chimney sweep carry out repairs?

Many chimney sweeps can handle minor repairs such as fixing liners, replacing pots, or fitting cowls. For larger structural issues, they may recommend a local roofer or stone mason.

What signs indicate my chimney needs cleaning?

Look out for smoke backing into the room, a sooty build-up around the fireplace, a strong creosote smell, or visible blockages. Any of these can indicate it’s time for a sweep.

Will a chimney sweep check for carbon monoxide risks?

While chimney sweeps focus on soot and flue safety, a proper inspection often includes checking ventilation and airflow, which helps reduce carbon monoxide risk. For gas appliances, a Gas Safe engineer may also be needed.
