What affects the price

Cleaning costs depend on a few specific things regarding your fireplace setup. We look at the total height of the chimney, the number of flues, and how much creosote buildup has accumulated over time. If your chimney has been neglected for several seasons, or if there are blockages like animal nests or heavy debris, the labor required increases. The type of liner and the fireplace architecture also play a role in the complexity of the service. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

The average cost for a chimney sweep varies based on the size of the chimney and the amount of work required to clear the buildup. Larger chimneys or those with severe blockage take longer to clean, which influences the final bill. We assess your unique needs before starting any work. Exact pricing is confirmed free on the call.
