MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How often should I get a chimney sweep?
For most homes we recommend a chimney sweep once a year, and every 6 months if you use your wood-burning stove heavily. Regular chimney sweeping improves draw, cuts soot/creosote, and reduces chimney fire risk in Northamptonshire.
Do I need a chimney sweep if I have a wood burner or multi-fuel stove?
Yes. Wood burners and multi-fuel stoves still deposit soot and tar in the flue, so an annual chimney sweep plus a safety check keeps your appliance efficient and safe. If your stove needs attention, we also handle stove repairs in Northampton or Kettering.
What are the signs I need a chimney sweep now?
Poor draw, smoke backing into the room, a sooty stove glass, strong odours, or a recent bird nest on the chimney are common signs. If you’re in Northampton, Kettering, or wider Northamptonshire, book a chimney sweep promptly to restore performance and safety.
Do you provide certificates after chimney sweeping?
Yes, after every professional chimney sweep we provide a sweep certificate for your records and insurance. This shows your flue has been swept and safety-checked by a qualified chimney sweep in Northamptonshire.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Northamptonshire?

Do you offer bird nest removal service?
Yes, I remove bird nests from chimneys once they’re inactive (no eggs or chicks). It’s illegal in the UK to disturb an active nest, so if birds are present we’ll schedule removal for after fledging, then clear the flue, sweep, and fit a bird guard/cowl to stop re-nesting.
