Chimney Sweeping
Regular chimney sweeping removes soot, creosote, and debris to prevent chimney fires and ensure safe operation. We use traditional rods, modern rotary equipment, and HEPA-filtered vacuums for thorough cleaning. A smoke evacuation test and insurance-recognised certificate are provided post-service.

Our high-resolution camera inspections identify blockages, cracks, or damage in chimneys and flues. This non-invasive method allows us to assess masonry, flexible liners, or twin-wall systems and provide targeted solutions for optimal performance.

I have used Sparkling Flues to clean the flue of our wood burner for several years now. Emma and Paul are always friendly and professional, happy to give advice and do a great job. Super organised too! I really like being able to book in for next year at the end of each visit, one less thing to remember! Highly recommended.

Sparkling Flues came to sweep my two chimneys. Booked in only a few days after my initial enquiry, all covid guidelines followed and a professional service provided. I would recommend and use again.

Great communication, great service and a fair price too. Bonus is they’re local as well. First time we’ve had the chimney swept so no experience of any other company but I’m happy so no reason to change. I’ll definitely be calling Emma back again.
