Level 1 Chimney Inspection:
This is the most common and fundamental inspection. A visual check to look for any obstructions in your chimney such as creosote build-up, a bird nest, or soot.
After the inspection, the sweep will commence. Your sweep will use brushes, extension poles, and a specialised vacuum to remove any material build-up in your chimney and safely contain it.
Includes:
-Fireplace area covered with dust/soot sheet which we provide
-Swept to HETAS standard
-Full visual check - hearth, pot, stack, fireplace, lintel etc
-CCTV camera inspection
-Smoke Test 2 - Evacuation check
-Detailed report will be issued if any remedial work needed, basic report and photos provided if no major issues.
Level 2 Chimney Inspection:
A level 2 chimney sweep inspection is required if a major change has occurred such as installing a new appliance, using a new fuel, or if your chimney has had structural changes. If you have just purchased the property or do not have accurate documentation of your fireplace’s history, a level 2 chimney sweep inspection is often advised.
During this inspection, your sweep will conduct the following:
Smoke leakage test – this test will determine if there are any leaks in the chimney or flue system.
Smoke pressure test – this test examines the integrity of the brick flue to discover if there are any structural issues with the chimney.
This inspection also includes all the procedures involved in a level 1 inspection.
Following a level 2 inspection
Level 3 Chimney Sweep Inspection:
This is the rarest type of chimney inspection and is usually only required following a chimney fire or in old properties where the chimney is aged or extremely difficult to inspect.
During a level 3 chimney sweep inspection, your sweep will have to demolish portions, or the entirety, of your chimney to facilitate an inspection. This level of inspection would require much more equipment, preparation, and manpower than the previous two levels and would be arranged following a level 2 inspection where structural or inspection issues have been identified.
Ideal for people who are experiencing problems – If the chimney has started to smoke back or it’s not burning as it once was, we can inspect the flue to find out what is causing the issues.
If you have not used the chimney in a long time, it’s a good idea to inspect the condition to ensure that it’s still safe.
Blockage – Your chimney has a blockage that sweeping cannot remove, a level 1 inspection allows us to identify the blockage and advise on the most appropriate method of removal/repair
