Our Comprehensive Range of Chimney Survey Services
We understand that every chimney and situation is unique. That’s why Home Sweep Home Ltd. offers a suite of specialised chimney survey services tailored to your specific requirements:
- CPC Chimney Inspection (Chimney CCTV Survey):
Our state-of-the-art CCTV chimney inspections provide a detailed internal view of your flue. We identify blockages, cracks, liner defects, and other potential issues, providing a chimney camera survey and a comprehensive report with relevant images. This is ideal for routine safety checks, post-chimney fire assessments, or pre-purchase property evaluations. - Pre-Installation Chimney Inspections:
Installing a new stove, wood burner, or open fire? A pre-installation survey, incorporating a chimney camera survey, is crucial to ensure your chimney is suitable, safe, and compliant.- For Stoves and Wood Burners: We check flue suitability, ventilation requirements, and compliance with current regulations for your new appliance.
- For Open Fires: We assess the existing chimney structure and flue to ensure it can operate safely and efficiently with an open fire.
- Full Chimney Inspections (including Smoke & Pressure Testing):
This in-depth assessment combines visual inspections with rigorous smoke and pressure testing. These tests are vital for detecting leaks, ensuring the flue is sealed, and confirming the overall integrity and safety of your chimney system. As well as this, a chimney CCTV survey is carried out. - Chimney Integrity Testing:
Specifically focused on evaluating the structural soundness and leak-tightness of your chimney flue, our integrity tests provide peace of mind, especially in older properties or where there are concerns about flue performance. - Party Wall Chimney Surveys:
If you or your neighbour are planning works that fall under the Party Wall etc. Act 1996 and involve a shared chimney, our impartial surveys provide a detailed record of the chimney’s condition before work commences. This helps protect all parties and can prevent future disputes. A Chimney camera survey is a fundamental part of this. - Expert Chimney Consultancy for Thatched & Historic Properties:
Chimneys in thatched and historic buildings require specialist knowledge due to their unique construction and heightened fire risks. Leveraging the expertise associated with our HETAS approved training centre, we offer expert consultancy and surveys tailored to these sensitive properties, focusing on safety, compliance, and preservation. Consultancy does not include a Chimney CCTV survey, though if you have recorded surveys from another sweep we can interpret these.
