Chimney Sweeping
Our chimney sweeping service removes soot, debris, and blockages to ensure safe and efficient fireplace operation. Using traditional and modern techniques, we clean flues thoroughly for domestic and commercial properties. Regular maintenance prevents fire hazards and maintains compliance with safety standards.
Smoke Testing
We conduct NACS-certified smoke tests to identify chimney leaks and structural issues. This service ensures compliance with safety regulations and prevents hazardous gas leaks. Ideal for property owners requiring certification for fireplace installations or maintenance.
Blockage Removal
Our team removes obstructions like nests, cobwebs, and debris from chimneys and flues. This restores proper airflow and prevents smoke backdrafts. We use specialist tools to clear blockages safely without damaging chimney structures.
Nest Removal
We safely remove bird nests and debris from chimneys to prevent blockages and damage. Our technicians ensure complete clearance while minimising disturbance to wildlife. Post-removal inspections confirm chimney readiness for use.
Building Debris Removal
This service clears construction debris and rubble from chimneys after building work. We ensure flues are free of obstructions to maintain functionality. Ideal for properties undergoing renovations or structural modifications.

Excellent prompt service. There are other chimney sweep companies closer to my home, but I always choose Vine as I trust their workmanship.
