Question 1

How often should I have my chimney swept in Harrow?

Accepted Answer

HETAS and industry bodies recommend: smokeless fuel at least once a year, wood burning quarterly while in use, bituminous coal twice a year, and gas flues once a year. Most Harrow homes with a wood burner benefit from a spring and autumn sweep.

Question 2

How much does a chimney sweep cost in Harrow?

Accepted Answer

A standard open-fire chimney sweep in Harrow starts at £60, wood burner sweeps from £70, gas flues from £75 and CCTV flue surveys from £120. Second and third flues on the same visit are discounted, and every quote is fixed before work begins.

Question 3

Does chimney sweeping make a mess?

Accepted Answer

No. We use full hearth sealing, industrial soot extraction and protective sheeting, so your room stays clean. We brush down and vacuum the hearth before we leave, and we take all soot with us.
