Pricing guide
Costs vary mainly with the severity of soot or creosote build-up and how many flues need attention. Quick gas-flue sweeps are typically less labour-intensive than deep de-sooting, while difficult roof access, after-hours attendance and any required scaffold hire or specialist disposal can significantly increase the scope. Structural repairs or relining are usually quoted separately and add to the overall cost.
Chimney condition and creosote build-up
Heavy, tar-like creosote usually requires multiple passes and specialised tools or chemicals, increasing labour and time.
Number of flues and chimneys
Work generally scales strongly with how many flues need brushing, vacuuming and minor hearth clean-up.
Fireplace type and fuel
Gas flues are typically quicker to clean than wood-burning chimneys, which often need deeper de-sooting.
Access and working at height
Safe ladder or roof access is usually assumed; restricted access or need for scaffolding increases complexity and scope.
Repairs, relining and waste disposal
Structural repairs, relining and specialist hazardous-waste disposal are commonly excluded from a standard sweep and are quoted separately.
