What Does a Dr Flue Chimney Sweep Include?
Price is important, but it's also important to understand what you're paying for.
A Dr Flue chimney sweep isn't simply running a brush through the chimney.
Our service includes an inspection of the fireplace and flue system before the chimney is swept.
Depending on the fireplace and installation, we inspect components such as:
Baffle plates
Air tubes
Fire bricks
Door seals
Firebox condition
Internal flue components
Spigot assembly
Cone and cowl assemblies
Roof flashings
External flue components
If the fireplace passes the inspection, the flue is swept and soot, creosote and other accumulated debris are removed.
A service report is also provided, giving you a record of the condition of the fireplace and flue system at the time of inspection.
For a detailed explanation of the service, read our guide: What Happens During a Professional Chimney Sweep?
Why Do We Inspect the Fireplace Before Sweeping?
The condition of the fireplace is just as important as the cleanliness of the chimney.
A wood burner contains components that are exposed to extremely high temperatures throughout its working life.
Over time we may find:
Worn or damaged baffle plates
Damaged fire bricks
Worn door seals
Deteriorating air tubes
Firebox damage
Flue deterioration
Damaged cowls
Roof flashing problems
Excessive creosote
Other maintenance issues
Identifying these problems during regular servicing can allow maintenance to be planned before a problem becomes more serious.
If additional repairs or maintenance are required, Dr Flue can provide a written quotation for the recommended work.
What If My Fireplace Doesn't Pass the Inspection?
Occasionally, we may find an issue that means the fireplace should not be swept or returned to service in its current condition.
If this happens, the problem will be identified and recommendations can be made for the required repairs.
Dr Flue can then provide a written quotation for the repair work.
Once the issue has been corrected, the fireplace can be reassessed and the chimney swept as appropriate.
This inspection-first approach helps ensure we're looking at the complete condition of the fireplace and flue system, rather than simply cleaning the chimney and ignoring potential problems.

Are There Additional Chimney Sweep Costs?
A standard chimney sweep covers the inspection and sweeping service included in your booking.
However, every fireplace and flue system is different.
Additional work may be required if we identify problems such as damaged fireplace components, deteriorated flue components, roof flashing issues or other repairs.
We don't simply carry out additional repair work without discussing it with you.
Where further work is recommended, Dr Flue can provide a written quotation so you can understand the work required and the cost before proceeding.
How Often Should You Have Your Chimney Swept?
For fireplaces used regularly through winter, Dr Flue recommends regular inspection and chimney sweeping as part of ongoing fireplace maintenance.
How frequently a chimney requires cleaning can also depend on:
How often the fireplace is used
The quality and moisture content of the firewood
How the fire is operated
The amount of soot and creosote being produced
The condition of the fireplace and flue system
For more information, read our guide: How Often Should You Sweep Your Chimney?
Is a Professional Chimney Sweep Worth It?
A professional chimney sweep isn't only about removing soot.
Regular servicing gives you an opportunity to have the fireplace and flue system inspected at the same time.
That can help identify developing maintenance issues, monitor the condition of an ageing wood burner and provide a service history through your inspection reports.
It also gives homeowners an opportunity to receive advice about firewood, fireplace operation and any maintenance that may be required.
