Pricing guide

Costs vary mainly with the type of blockage and how easy the flue is to access. A basic mechanical brush and vacuum for a single flue is typically much less involved than chemical extraction for glazed creosote, animal removal, or work needing scaffold and masonry. Specialist consumables, repeat passes and coordination with licenced asbestos or pest specialists can also increase the overall scope.

  • Blockage type and severity

    Glazed or hardened creosote, dense soot build-up, animal nests or collapsed liner all usually demand different techniques and more time.

  • Roof access and safety requirements

    Height, roof pitch and safe access determine whether work can be done from an internal cleanout or requires scaffold or an aerial work platform.

  • Tools, chemicals and consumables

    Heavy rotary tools, chemical treatments and specialist brushes increase materials use and may require repeat passes to fully remove deposits.

  • Containment, clean-up and disposal

    Removing animal remains, nests or hazardous debris typically needs extra containment, cleaning and specialist disposal steps.

  • Need for multi-trade or remedial work

    If the liner, flue or masonry is damaged, additional trades such as stonemasons or roofers and multi-day work are often required.
