Things to consider before you book

The local conditions that shape the job, the best time of year to book, and what to sort out before you choose a chimney cleaner.

  • Cooler Months Mean Fewer Delays

    Summers in most of South Australia get warm — on hot days, your tradie will plan their work around the temperature throughout the day, tackling heat-sensitive tasks early and adjusting as conditions change.

What's in a good Chimney Cleaning quote?

A good quote spells out how the job is priced and what's covered (labour, materials, prep and clean-up), so you're comparing like for like. Check what each chimney cleaner's quote covers before you choose.

Worth knowing: getting two or three quotes is the simplest way to land a fair price, and it costs you nothing.

  • 01
    Fixed price

    A firm price before they arrive, not 'quote on the day'.

  • 02
    Itemised scope

    Flue brushing, HEPA vacuum, firebox clean and cap inspection.

  • 03
    Insurance

    Public liability cover before they go on your roof.

Frequently asked questions

Hiring chimney cleaners

How much do chimney cleaners typically charge?
Costs for chimney cleaning vary widely depending on the work required. A standard sweep is typically simpler than blockage removal or jobs needing repairs, and the number of flues, access and condition of the flue all affect time and materials. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do chimney cleaners charge call-out fees?
Call-out fees are common to cover travel and the initial inspection. Most chimney cleaners also charge an hourly labour rate, and after-hours or emergency attendance usually attracts higher rates. It's worth confirming any call-out, minimum charge or after-hours loading when requesting quotes.
What qualifications should I look for in a chimney cleaner?
Chimney cleaning is generally unlicensed, so look for an ABN and evidence of adequate public liability insurance plus voluntary industry credentials. Membership of bodies like the Australian Home Heating Association or voluntary certifications such as Guild or Institute of Chimney Sweeps are useful indicators, and a written service report after the clean is often provided.

Using SureQuote

Is the SureQuote estimate a quote, and why can a tradie's quote be different?
No. Your estimate is a guide price for a typical job that matches your answers. A tradie prices your actual job in their quote, once they've seen things like access, condition, materials and the full scope. Read the full answer
What happens after I submit my job, and how many tradies will contact me?
We email you your estimate and a link to your job. Up to 3 local tradies can take it and contact you to quote; only they get your name, phone and email, and you choose who to hire, if anyone. Read the full answer
Is it free to get quotes, and does the tradie's fee raise my price?
Yes, getting quotes is free and you don't have to hire anyone. Tradies pay us a capped fee to take your job, and we set it before they quote, so nothing is added to your quote. Read the full answer
Can I add photos to my job?
Yes. Add up to 10 photos in the chat after you give your contact details, or later from the job in Hire, and tradies see them before they take the job. Read the full answer
Do I have to hire one of the tradies?
No. Getting quotes is free, you're never obliged to hire anyone, and you pay only the tradie you choose to hire. Read the full answer
Does SureQuote check tradies' licences and insurance?
We collect each business's ABN, licence, insurance and warranty details and keep them as up to date as we can, so you can see them in one place on its profile. We don't guarantee them, so always check the licence yourself on the relevant licence register before you hire. Read the full answer
