About Adie Cripps chimney sweep
Hi, I'm Adie. I've been sweeping chimneys across Urchfont and the wider Wiltshire area for a number of years, and I take real pride in doing the job properly. Every sweep is thorough, every visit is clean and tidy, and every customer gets a certificate when the work is done — no cutting corners.
I know that having someone in your home needs to feel right. I turn up when I say I will, I take care of your furniture and carpets, and I leave without a trace of soot. Whether you have an open fire, a wood burner or a multifuel stove, I'll make sure the flue is clear, safe and fit for use.
If I spot anything that needs attention — a cracked pot, a worn seal, signs of a blocked or damaged flue — I'll tell you honestly and explain your options. No pressure, no scare stories. Just straight advice from someone who cares about doing the job right.
What We Do
A thorough sweep of open fires, wood burners and multifuel stoves, leaving your flue clear and your home spotless.
A signed certificate is issued after every sweep, giving you the documentation your insurer or landlord may require.
Where access or condition is a concern, a camera inspection reveals exactly what is happening inside your flue before any work begins.
From repointing cracked flaunching to replacing worn pots, minor chimney repairs are carried out as part of a proper maintenance visit.
Cowls, cages and bird guards fitted to keep debris, birds and downdraught out of your chimney and flue.
A service check of your wood burner or multifuel stove ensures seals, glass and components are in safe working order alongside the annual sweep.
How It Works
Call or message me to arrange a convenient time — I cover Urchfont and surrounding Wiltshire villages and aim to be flexible around you.
Before I start, I check the fireplace, appliance and flue opening so I know exactly what I'm working with and can spot any issues early.
I sweep the full length of the flue, protect your room with dust sheets, and leave everything clean and tidy with no trace of soot.
You receive a signed certificate of sweeping and honest advice on anything I noticed — so you have peace of mind and proper documentation.

FAQ
I start by checking the fireplace, stove or flue opening to assess the condition before work begins. Dust sheets are laid down to protect your room, then I sweep the full length of the flue. Once finished, I clear up completely, carry out a final check, and issue a signed certificate of sweeping.
Every job is quoted on a straightforward basis — call me to discuss your appliance type and I'll give you a clear price before we book. There are no hidden charges or surprise extras.
Yes, I am fully insured. A signed certificate of sweeping is issued after every visit, giving you the documentation required by your home insurer and confirming the work has been carried out to a proper standard.
Most standard sweeps take between 45 minutes and an hour, depending on the appliance and flue length. I'll let you know if anything suggests it might take longer before I start.
If you're burning solid fuel, an annual sweep is recommended as a minimum — more often with heavy use. If you notice reduced draw, smoke entering the room, unusual smells or it's been over a year since the last sweep, it's time to book. I'll inspect the flue and let you know honestly if anything else needs attention.
I'm based in Urchfont and cover Devizes, Pewsey, Marlborough, Melksham, Trowbridge, Westbury, Warminster and the surrounding Wiltshire villages. If you're unsure whether I cover your area, just give me a call.
