We sweep chimneys throughout Essex, from Chelmsford and Colchester to the coastal towns. Clean vacuum sweeping, no soot on your floor, and a certificate before we leave.
Essex stacks take more weather than most. Salt air and an exposed easterly aspect strip mortar faster, which is why coastal chimneys from Maldon round to Clacton often need repointing years before an inland stack of the same age. A sweep is the moment somebody is looking at your chimney closely, so it is the moment that gets spotted.
We sweep open fires, wood burners, stoves and gas flues right across the county. Everything is sheeted and vacuum-sealed, so the soot goes into the machine rather than onto your carpet, and the certificate is issued on the day for your insurer or letting agent. If the sweep turns up a problem on the stack, we can fix that too.

We cover a wide area across Essex and the surrounding areas. If you are not sure whether we reach you, call us on 020 8351 7164 and ask rather than assuming, as our coverage is growing all the time.
Yes, more than most people expect. Salt-laden air combined with driving easterly rain attacks lime and cement mortar faster than inland weather does. Coastal Essex stacks commonly need repointing at fifteen to twenty years where a sheltered inland stack might go thirty. We will flag it if we see it.
Once a year for seasoned wood and once or twice a year for smokeless fuel or coal. If your chimney is exposed and unused, once a year still matters, because open flues on the Essex coast collect nests and wind-driven debris more readily than sheltered ones.
Yes, with the certificate issued on the day. Letting agents in Chelmsford and Colchester use us for portfolio sweeps, which we book as a block so all the certificates arrive together.
No. The hearth and floor are sheeted first, the fireplace opening is sealed, and the vacuum holds the soot under negative pressure throughout. What comes out of the flue goes into the drum and leaves with us. There is nothing for you to clean up afterwards.
Lead times stretch from September onwards across the whole county, so late summer is the sensible time to book. We group Essex visits by area to keep travel down, which means a village slot may depend on when we are next nearby. Call us to check.
