We sweep chimneys across London, from terraced Victorian flues to converted flats and modern wood burners. Sealed vacuum equipment, no mess, and a certificate before we leave.
Most London chimneys are Victorian, shared with next door, and running flues that were built for coal and now serve a wood burner. That combination means narrower flues, more bends and more soot than a modern stack, and it is why a London sweep takes longer than a suburban one. We sweep open fires, stoves, wood burners and gas flues right across the capital.
Access in London is its own problem: no driveway, permit parking, a flat above a shop, a landlord who needs the certificate by Friday. We plan around it rather than charging you for it. Every sweep is sheeted and vacuum-sealed so nothing lands on the floor, and the certificate is issued on the day for your insurer or your agent.
Sweeping, inspections and stack repairs across the capital, all handled by our own engineers.

Common questions about chimney sweeping in London.
Our friendly team is on hand to help with anything about your chimney, stove or flue.
No questions match your search.
We cover a wide range of areas across London. We would rather tell you honestly that you are outside our area than take the booking and cancel it. If you are on the edge of where we work, get in touch, as we can often fit you in alongside another job nearby.
Yes, once a year. An unused or lightly used London flue is exactly where birds nest, and a nest is a fire risk and a blockage at the same time. If the fire has not been lit all year the sweep will be quick, but it is still worth doing before the first cold night.
It can. Shared stacks in converted London houses often have flues running past each other, and a crack between two flues sends smoke into someone else’s living room. We sweep your flue and tell you if we see signs of that, and we can smoke test to confirm it.
No. We sheet the hearth and the surrounding floor, seal the opening, and run a vacuum that holds the soot in the flue for the whole sweep. Small rooms are the ones we are most careful in, because there is nowhere for anything to go.
Yes, and we issue the certificate the same day. If you manage several properties we can sweep them in one visit block and send all the certificates together.
