Chimney Sweeps

Chimney sweeping is the process of removing soot, dirt, and debris from your chimney. The professionals who carry out this job are known as Chimney Sweeps.

Regular chimney and flue maintenance will ensure the continuing operational efficiency of exhaust flues, minimise spoilage of goods, prevent burnout of exhaust fan motors, reduce fire and health hazards and is necessary to prevent EPA warnings and complaints from neighbouring premises. Industrial chimney sweeps will provide cleaning services all types of flues, stacks, ovenlines, spraybooths, hoods and associated duct work. Commercial chimney sweeps will be able to service woodfired and electric pizza ovens, bakers ovens, flues to kitchen fryers and woks, and all types of exhaust fans.

Some commercial chimney sweeps will be able to undertake maintenance programs for hotel chains and the hospitality industry to ensure occupational health and safety and environmental regulations are maintained. Commercial chimney sweeps may also offer cleaning of commercial air conditioning ducts for offices and factories; or cleaning of exhaust systems for smoking areas, toilets and laboratories.

Domestic chimney sweeps provide cleaning services for wood heating flues and open fireplace chimneys. Some services will also offer the installation of bird and possum grids, cowls and dampers, as well as general maintenance and advice for fireplace and chimney operation. Some chimney sweeps will even remove beehives from chimneys.
