Chimney Sweep Chelmsford
Chimney and stove sweeping across Chelmsford, including Moulsham, Springfield, Great Baddow, Writtle and Broomfield. Every sweep includes a smoke test and a certificate for your insurer, from £95.
Chimney sweeping in Chelmsford
Chelmsford's chimneys are as varied as its streets. Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Moulsham and the city centre still have their original fireplaces. Plenty of 1930s semis in Great Baddow and Broomfield now have a wood burner fitted into the old opening. Newer homes at Beaulieu and Channels usually either have no chimney at all or have a stove on a twin-wall flue.
Each type needs a slightly different job, so we check what's actually behind the stove, not just the part you can see. That means the register plate, the liner, the cowl and how well the flue draws.

What we find in Chelmsford chimneys
The three situations we deal with most around Chelmsford.
Stoves in old fireplace openings
Many Chelmsford stoves were fitted into an existing chimney. With no liner, or an old one, soot and tar build up faster. We check the register plate and the liner every visit.
Twin-wall flues on newer homes
Stoves in newer developments often run on a twin-wall system through the roof. These still need sweeping, and we check the joints, bands and cowl while we're there.
Shared stacks on terraces
On a terrace, smoke or staining can come from a neighbour's flue as easily as yours. A smoke test shows which flue is actually leaking before anyone pays for a repair.

Chelmsford chimney sweep FAQs
Questions Chelmsford homeowners ask us before booking.
Which parts of Chelmsford do you cover?
The whole city, including Moulsham, Springfield, Chelmer Village, Great Baddow, Galleywood, Writtle, Broomfield and Beaulieu, plus Boreham, Danbury and Little Waltham. Postcodes CM1, CM2 and CM3.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Chelmsford?
£95 for a standard sweep, which includes the sweep, a visual inspection, a smoke test, clean-up and your certificate. A CCTV flue inspection adds £75, or it's £170 for both together. We confirm the price before any work starts.
My new-build has a twin-wall flue. Does it still need sweeping?
Yes. Any flue serving a wood burner or multi-fuel stove builds up soot and creosote, whatever it's made of. Sweep it at least once a year, and more often if you burn wood regularly. Many home insurers also want to see a recent sweeping certificate.
Can you sweep and service my stove on the same visit?
Yes. We can replace rope seals, clean the glass and check the baffle, firebricks and air controls straight after sweeping. See our stove servicing details.
How quickly can you get to Chelmsford?
Same-day appointments are often available, and we offer 24/7 emergency cover for problems like smoke coming into the room or a suspected blockage.
