About Clements Chimney Sweeps
I run Clements Chimney Sweeps and carry out chimney sweeping, flue inspections and log burner installations across Babergh and the surrounding parts of Suffolk. I have seen the problems that build up when chimneys are neglected — dangerous soot build-up, cracked liners, poorly fitted stoves — and my job is to diagnose exactly what is happening and sort it properly.
Whether you need a routine sweep before the burning season, a CCTV survey to investigate a problem, or a brand-new log burner installed, I will give you a straight answer about what needs doing and a clear written quote before any work starts. I take pride in leaving every job clean and tidy, and I stand behind everything I do.
If you are unsure whether your chimney or appliance is safe to use, call me for a free survey. I would rather you ask than risk a problem going undetected.
What We Do
Thorough sweeping removes soot and debris from your flue, reducing fire risk and keeping your chimney drawing cleanly and safely.
I fit wood-burning stoves and log burners to a high standard, leaving you with a finished installation that looks great and performs properly.
A camera survey reveals hidden cracks, blockages or deterioration a sweep alone cannot see, so you know exactly what is there.
Where an existing flue is damaged or unsuitable for a new appliance, I install a correctly specified liner to restore safe and efficient operation.
From repointing and pot replacement to lead flashing and stack repairs, I carry out work that stops the problem rather than masks it.
I check for ventilation issues and blocked flues that could put your household at risk, and advise on the right detector placement for peace of mind.
How It Works
I come out to inspect your chimney or appliance, find the real cause of any issue, and tell you honestly what needs to be done — with no obligation.
You receive a clear written quote covering exactly what the work involves, so you can make a fully informed decision before anything starts.
I carry out the sweep, installation or repair to a high standard, working cleanly and tidily and finishing on time.
Once the job is done I stand behind it — if you have any questions or concerns afterwards, I am always at the end of the phone.

FAQ
I start with a free survey to assess your chimney, flue or appliance and identify any underlying issues. I then provide a fixed written quote. Once you are happy to proceed, I carry out the sweep, inspection or installation cleanly and to schedule, and I guarantee the work on completion.
Every job is priced after a free survey, since the cost depends on the size of the flue, the type of appliance and any remedial work needed. You will always receive a written fixed quote before I begin — there are no hidden charges.
Yes. I carry full public liability insurance and every job is backed by a workmanship guarantee. If anything is not right once the work is complete, I will come back and sort it.
A standard chimney sweep typically takes around an hour. A CCTV flue inspection or log burner installation will take longer depending on the scope — I will give you a realistic time estimate when I provide your quote.
That is exactly why I start with a proper survey rather than guessing. I inspect the flue, appliance and structure to find the cause — not just the symptom — so the work I carry out actually resolves the issue rather than masking it.
I cover Babergh and the surrounding area including Sudbury, Hadleigh, Long Melford, Lavenham, Ipswich, Stowmarket, Needham Market, Halstead, Colchester and Bury St Edmunds. If you are unsure whether I cover your area, give me a call and I will let you know.
