What a chimney sweep covers
A chimney should be swept at least once a year if you're burning solid fuel — more if you're burning unseasoned wood. Soot and tar build up in the flue over the season and that's where chimney fires start. A sweep is a straightforward job that takes about an hour.
The chimney sweep in Ferbane covers:
- Fireplace and hearth sheeted off before work starts — no mess in the room
- Flue swept from bottom to top, soot and debris cleared
- Chimney pot and cowl checked for blockages or damage
- Debris bagged and removed
If anything is spotted — a damaged pot, a bird's nest, a cracked liner — it'll be explained. Most straightforward issues can be sorted the same visit.

Common questions about chimney sweeping ferbane
How much does chimney sweeping cost in Ferbane?
One chimney in Ferbane is typically €70 to €90. A second chimney in the same house is usually €50 to €60 on top. Long-neglected or badly blocked chimneys take longer and may cost more — that gets flagged before work starts.
How often should a chimney be swept?
At least once a year for solid fuel stoves and open fires. If you're burning a lot of wood — especially wet or unseasoned wood — twice a year is better. Oil and gas chimneys should be checked every year or two even if not swept.
Do you make a mess sweeping a chimney?
No — the fireplace and hearth are sheeted off before the brushes go in. Soot stays contained. The room is left clean and any debris is bagged and taken away.
What if you find a blockage or damage?
It gets explained clearly — a bird's nest, a cracked pot, a damaged cowl. Most simple issues can be sorted the same visit. Anything that needs specialist work gets flagged so you can decide what to do next.
