About Ian Chapman Chimney Sweep
A Chimney Sweep Who Does the Job Properly
Hi, I'm Ian Chapman — a professional chimney sweep serving homes across Chilcompton, Radstock and the surrounding Somerset villages. Whether you have a wood-burning stove, a log burner or a traditional open fire, I'll sweep it thoroughly, leave everything clean and tidy, and talk you through exactly what I've found.
I take a methodical approach to every visit. I don't just push a brush up and leave — I check the flue, look for any signs of wear or build-up, and give you honest advice on keeping your appliance safe between services. Every room I work in is left as I found it, with dust sheets laid down and all debris removed before I go.
Most of my customers come back every year, and many find me through the certificate I left with the previous owners of their home. That kind of track record matters more to me than any advertising.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a chimney sweep visit?
I arrive at the agreed time, lay down dust sheets to protect your floors and furniture, then sweep the flue thoroughly. I inspect the appliance and flue carefully as I go, remove all debris, leave everything clean and tidy, and talk you through what I've found before I leave. A signed sweep certificate is issued after every visit.
How much does a chimney sweep cost?
Pricing depends on the type of appliance and the condition of the flue. Every job is quoted clearly before I start — no hidden extras and no surprises. Call me for a straightforward price.
Are you insured and do you issue sweep certificates?
Yes — I am fully insured and issue a signed sweep certificate after every visit. These are commonly requested by home insurers and are a useful record for future buyers of your property.
How long does a chimney sweep take?
Most standard sweeps take around 45 minutes to an hour per appliance, depending on the type and condition of the flue. I'll give you a clear idea of timings when we speak.
How do I know if there's a problem with my chimney or flue?
During every visit I inspect the flue and appliance carefully and will flag anything that needs attention. You'll get an honest assessment of the condition and straightforward advice on what, if anything, needs to be done — no alarm bells for nothing.

I cover Chilcompton and the surrounding area, including Radstock, Midsomer Norton, Paulton, Peasedown St John, Bath, Frome, Shepton Mallet and Wells. Not sure if I cover your village? Give me a call.
