David O. Hampstead, North London

"Bryan swept two chimneys for us and fitted cowls on both. He explained everything clearly, worked incredibly tidily, and the price was very reasonable. Our chimneys haven't drawn this well in years!"

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about chimney sweeping, safety, and booking with B Pearce.

How often should my chimney be swept?

For wood-burning stoves and open fires used regularly, we recommend sweeping at least once a year — ideally before the burning season begins in autumn. Heavy users (burning more than a few times per week) should sweep twice a year. Gas fires should be swept at least once a year.

Will it make a mess in my home?

Not with us. We use professional dust sheets and a high-powered HEPA vacuum system that captures virtually all soot and dust at source. Your fireplace, hearth, and surrounding room will be left clean and tidy — often cleaner than before we arrived.

Do I need a certificate of sweeping?

Yes — most home insurance policies require proof of an annual sweep, particularly for solid fuel appliances. Our certificate also provides a record for HETAS and building regulations purposes if you're installing a new stove. We issue one at the end of every sweep.

What types of chimneys do you sweep?

We sweep all chimney types including traditional open fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, multi-fuel stoves, gas fires, and Rayburn/Aga-style flues. If you're unsure, just call and describe your appliance — we'll let you know straightaway whether we can help.

How long does a chimney sweep take?

A standard single-flue sweep typically takes between 45 minutes and one hour. More complex jobs — such as those involving blockage removal, additional flues, or awkward access — may take a little longer. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you book.

Do I need to do anything before you arrive?

Please make sure the fire is cold — we need the flue to have been unlit for at least 24 hours. If possible, remove items from the hearth area. We'll take care of everything else, including laying our own dust sheets and clearing the working area.

Are you insured?

Yes, absolutely. B Pearce Chimney Sweeps holds comprehensive public liability insurance. You can ask to see the certificate on the day of your appointment. We would never work in a customer's home without appropriate cover in place.

What areas of London do you cover?

We cover the whole of Greater London including North, South, East, and West London postcodes, as well as parts of the surrounding Home Counties. Call us with your postcode and we'll confirm availability for your area.

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept cash, bank transfer, and most major debit/credit cards. Payment is due on the day of the appointment once the work is completed to your satisfaction. We'll confirm payment options when you book.

How do I book an appointment?

The easiest way is to call us directly on 0208 624 0736. You can also email us and we'll get back to you promptly. We aim to offer flexible appointment slots including early mornings and Saturdays where possible.
