Before we come
- Leave the fire or stove unlit from the night before, so it is cold when we arrive.
- Clear the hearth and move small ornaments off the mantelpiece.
- Someone over 18 needs to be in, with access to the room.

The visit
What happens at a sweep
Every visit follows the same four parts, so nothing about the visit comes as a surprise.
Look before we start
A torch and mirror up the flue first, to spot a blockage, loose mortar or a damaged pot before any rod goes up.
Seal off the fireplace
Dust sheets down from the hearth to the door, and the opening closed off with a sheet and a filtered vacuum running throughout.
Brush the full height
Rods and a brush sized to your flue, pushed from the bottom to the pot, then the soot bagged and taken away.
Prove it draws
A smoke pellet lit in the grate or stove to show the smoke rising up the flue and out of the pot, not back into the room.
Our round
Hexham and the Tyne Valley
Not on the list? Ask anyway: we sometimes go further up the valley when we have other sweeps nearby.
Every town we coverQuestions
Before you send it
What to tell us, and whether you need to be in.
What do I need to tell you?
What you burn on, how many chimneys and your postcode. A photo of the stove or fireplace helps but is not needed.
Do I need to be in?
Yes, or someone over 18 with the key. We need the fireplace or stove and the room in front of it.
Can I choose the day?
Say which days usually suit when you ask for a quote. We reply to say which day we can do, or if none of yours work; nothing is booked until we agree it with you.
