Chimney Sweeps in Southend
In Southend, this service begins by sealing the fireplace opening. We then clean your chimney using professional brushes and rods, while an industrial HEPA-filtered vacuum safely collects all soot and debris.
Once the chimney has been thoroughly swept, we place a smoke pellet in the opening to assess the draw of the chimney. Following this, you will be issued with a NACs / HETAS certificate.
It’s a no-fuss, no-mess service.
Why is chimney sweeping important? Chimney fires can be caused by a build-up of soot or resin from burning wood and logs. There is also a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning—if a chimney is blocked or not drawing properly, it can expose occupants to dangerous fumes produced by burning coal, wood, gas, or oil.

Smoke Test Certificate
Our smoke testing service in Southend includes a chimney sweep and clean. The top of the chimney is then sealed, and a smoke pellet is placed in the fireplace opening, which is then also sealed. Upstairs, downstairs, and attics (if applicable) are then checked, along with any shared party wall surrounding the fireplace in question.
Once checked, a NACs certificate of smoke testing will be provided. Why? Smoke testing is essential to ensure that flue gasses will rise freely through the flue, and to determine whether there are any problems, for example insufficiently sealed joints, damage, or deterioration.
