Factors That May Affect Cost
Our prices are transparent and fixed for standard work. However, some situations may require additional services:
- Bird Nest Discovery: If we find a nest during sweeping (not always visible beforehand), removal is £100 additional. We'll always inform you before proceeding.
- Multiple Chimneys: Simply book multiple services online - our basket shows the total
- Exceptionally Heavy Buildup: In very rare cases where a chimney hasn't been swept in many years, extra time may be needed - we'll advise if this applies
About Bird Nests
Bird nests are sometimes discovered during sweeping because they're high in the flue and not visible from below. If we find a nest, we'll stop and explain the situation, costs (£100 for removal + sweep completion), and UK wildlife law requirements. You choose whether to proceed immediately or book for later. We prioritise transparency and will never proceed with extra work without your approval.
No Hidden Fees Guarantee
Unlike some service providers, we don't charge:
- ❌ Call-out fees
- ❌ Travel charges
- ❌ "Inspection fees" before quoting
- ❌ Certificate fees (included free)
- ❌ Weekend or evening surcharges
- ❌ Parking fees or admin fees
The price you see when booking is the price you pay.
