About Canterbury Chimney Sweep
Your Local Chimney Sweep in Dover & East Kent
Hi, I'm Mark, and I run Canterbury Chimney Sweep. I cover Dover, Canterbury and across East Kent, sweeping chimneys and servicing log burners for homeowners who want the job done properly — and without leaving a mess behind.
Every visit starts with a proper look at your flue, not just a quick brush-through. I'll tell you honestly what I find, whether that's a straightforward clean, a bird that's found its way in, or something that needs attention before you light the fire again. No guesswork, no unnecessary upselling.
I'm known for arriving on time and leaving your home exactly as I found it. Whether you have an open fire, a log burner or a solid-fuel stove, you'll get a straight answer, a fair price and the job done right first time.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What does a chimney sweep visit involve?
I arrive on time, protect your fireplace and the surrounding area, then carry out a thorough professional sweep. I inspect your flue as I work, let you know what I find, and clear up completely before I leave — the whole job typically takes under an hour.
How much does a chimney sweep cost?
Pricing depends on the type of appliance, the chimney structure and what I find on the day. I'll give you a clear, honest price before any work starts — no hidden extras and no surprises.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, I'm fully insured for public liability, so you can book with complete confidence. My workmanship is guaranteed — if anything isn't right, I'll come back and sort it.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
A standard sweep usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes. Log burner services or more involved jobs may take a little longer. I'll give you a realistic estimate when we speak.
How do you know if there's a real problem with my chimney?
As part of every sweep I inspect your flue for signs of damage, heavy build-up or blockages. If I find something that needs attention — a bird nest, a structural issue or a blocked liner — I'll explain it clearly and give you honest advice before any additional work is agreed.
What areas do you cover?
I cover Dover, Canterbury, Folkestone, Deal, Sandwich, Hythe, Ramsgate, Margate and the surrounding East Kent area. If you're unsure whether I reach you, just give me a call and I'll let you know.
