What you can expect from me
You get answers without opening walls
I inspect the flue from the inside with specialist camera equipment. You get a clear diagnosis without invasive work or unnecessary mess.
Small faults are easier to deal with
I can spot early signs of wear before they turn into major damage. That gives you time to plan repairs while the job is still manageable.
Useful when safety really matters
My inspection is ideal before fitting a stove or checking a newly bought home. You get a clearer view of the risks before you rely on the chimney.
See what your chimney is hiding
I carry out chimney inspection work with CCTV equipment that shows the inside of your flue in clear detail. That matters when smoke isn't drawing properly, when a fire has been left unused for a while, or when you want to check the condition before fitting a stove. I can spot cracked liners, stubborn soot build-up, bird nests and other problems that a standard visual check may miss. If required, I also provide bird nest removal to safely clear blockages and restore proper airflow, along with stove servicing to check your appliance is operating safely and efficiently.
My camera survey helps reveal moisture damage, internal wear and faults left behind by older repairs. I provide these services through SC Sweeps across Washington, Tyne And Wear, giving you a better picture of what is happening inside the chimney. When you know the real condition of the flue, it's much easier to plan the right maintenance and avoid bigger trouble later.
A closer look before problems grow
Poor chimney performance often starts with something you can't see from the fireplace opening. I inspect the full flue system to check for obstructions affecting ventilation, creosote and tar deposits, and signs of structural deterioration higher up the stack. This is especially useful if you're buying a property and want proper evidence of the chimney's internal condition before you commit. My inspections through SC Sweeps can also highlight installation defects or previous repair issues that may affect safety and performance. In Washington, Tyne And Wear, that kind of early warning can save you from messy surprises once colder weather arrives.
