Chimney sweep in Washington, 100% recommended

CCTV chimney surveys. Fully insured service. Certificates issued on completion.

What sets me apart?

Clear checks, not guesswork

I use CCTV surveys to look deeper into your chimney when a standard sweep is not enough. That means you get practical answers based on what is really there.

Practical advice you can rely on

I provide straightforward advice on chimney care, stove use, and maintenance to help keep your system safe, efficient, and working reliably.

Work that respects your home

Cleanliness and respect for your home are at the heart of every chimney sweep I carry out. I take every precaution to protect your property, working carefully and tidily from start to finish. When the work is complete, your home will be left clean, tidy and ready to enjoy, with no mess left behind.

What I Offer

CCTV chimney inspection

I use high definition camera equipment to check your flue for hidden damage, blockages and wear. You get a clear picture of what is going on inside your chimney without guesswork.

Bird nest removal

I remove chimney bird nests with specialist tools to restore safe airflow and reduce the risk of smoke backing up into your home. I can also fit the right cowl to help stop birds nesting again.

Stove servicing

I check the working parts inside your stove and let you know if anything needs repair or replacement. That helps your appliance run more efficiently and last longer.
