Chimney sweeping across Hemel Hempstead
Most of Hemel was built as a new town in the 1950s and 60s, so a lot of the houses we visit in Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Chaulden, Warners End and Grovehill have chimneys designed for a coal fire or a back boiler, not a modern log burner. Then there's the Old Town around the High Street, with much older houses in the conservation area, and Leverstock Green, which was a village long before the new town arrived.
New town flues can be narrow, and some have been used for gas fires for decades before someone fits a stove. That's why we never just push the rods through and go. We sweep, check the flue is suitable for what you're burning, smoke-test it and give you a certificate, with no mess left behind.

Typical Hemel Hempstead chimney issues
What we see most in new town houses, the Old Town and the villages nearby.
Back boiler and gas fire flues
Plenty of 1950s and 60s Hemel houses had a back boiler or gas fire on the chimney. Those flues can be small or have old fittings left in. Before a stove goes on, we check the size and condition and whether it needs lining.
Victorian villas in Berkhamsted
Berkhamsted and Boxmoor have big Victorian and Edwardian houses with tall stacks and several fireplaces. Long, unlined flues collect soot on the ledges, so we take our time and check each one you use.
Birds in quiet pots
Jackdaws love the unused pots on new town semis and older terraces alike. If a flue hasn't been lit for a while we check it for nesting first, and we can fit a guard once the nesting season is over.

Hemel Hempstead chimney sweep FAQs
What people in Hemel and the surrounding villages ask before booking.
Which parts of Hemel Hempstead do you cover?
All of Hemel, including the Old Town, Boxmoor, Adeyfield, Bennetts End, Chaulden, Warners End, Gadebridge, Grovehill and Leverstock Green. We also cover Berkhamsted, Kings Langley and Bovingdon.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Hemel Hempstead?
From £95 for a standard sweep, with a visual check, smoke test, clean-up and certificate included. Add a CCTV flue inspection for £75, or have both for £170. We confirm the price before we start.
Can I put a log burner on my 1960s chimney?
Often yes, but it depends on the flue. Many new town chimneys were built for coal or back boilers and some have since had gas fires. A sweep and a CCTV inspection tells you if it needs a liner first.
Do you service stoves as well as sweeping chimneys?
Yes. We replace rope seals, glass and baffles and check the air controls. Have a look at our stove servicing page for what's included.
How often should I have my chimney swept?
Once a year for smokeless fuel, and up to twice a year if you burn wood a lot. Our guide on how often and how long a chimney sweep takes goes into more detail.
