Question 1

What happens when you come to sweep my chimney?

Accepted Answer

I start by inspecting the flue and your stove or fireplace, then sweep thoroughly using proper equipment. Dust sheets protect your room throughout, and I check everything is drawing correctly before I leave. You'll receive a service certificate at the end of the visit.

Question 2

How much does a chimney sweep cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is fair and transparent — customers consistently mention good value. Call me for a straightforward quote based on your fire type and flue. There are no hidden extras added on at the end.

Question 3

Are you insured and do you provide a certificate?

Accepted Answer

Yes, I'm fully insured and I issue a service certificate at the end of every sweep. This is important for home insurance purposes and confirms your flue has been professionally serviced.

Question 4

How long does a chimney sweep take?

Accepted Answer

Most visits take around 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the type of fire and the condition of the flue. I don't rush the job — thoroughness matters more than speed.

Question 5

How will I know if there's a problem with my flue?

Accepted Answer

I inspect the full flue system as part of every visit — not just the visible parts. If I find anything that needs attention, I'll explain it clearly and honestly so you can decide what to do. I also fit carbon monoxide alarms if you need one.

Question 6

What areas do you cover?

Accepted Answer

I cover Martock and the surrounding area including Yeovil, Ilminster, Langport, Somerton, Crewkerne, Chard, Taunton and Sherborne. If you're nearby and unsure whether I cover your area, give me a call and I'll let you know.
