At Wright’s Chimney Sweep, we believe in keeping your home safe, warm, and running efficiently. Regular chimney and flue sweeping is essential—it’s not just about cleanliness, but your safety too. A blocked chimney can allow harmful gases like carbon monoxide to enter your home, posing a serious risk to your household. Plus, built-up soot and debris increase the chances of chimney fires.
Beyond safety, sweeping ensures your appliances work at their best, improving efficiency and helping you get the most out of your heating system. We also clear out unexpected obstructions, like bird nests and cobwebs, so your chimney is always in top condition.

At Wright’s Chimney Sweep, we know that regular chimney maintenance is key to keeping your home safe and efficient. How often you need your chimney swept depends on how frequently you use it and the type of fuel you burn.
For wood or coal-burning appliances, we recommend sweeping at least once or twice a year, as these fuels create more soot and creosote buildup. If you use gas or oil, an annual sweep is usually enough to ensure everything is running smoothly. And for those occasional-use fireplaces, an inspection before the colder months can give you peace of mind.
A clean chimney means safer, more efficient heating and fewer risks of dangerous gases or chimney fires. Let us take care of it for you—get in touch with Wright’s Chimney Sweep today!

Absolutely! While gas and oil appliances don’t produce the same soot buildup as wood or coal, their flues still need regular maintenance to ensure safe and efficient operation. Over time, deposits can accumulate, and blockages—like bird nests or debris—can restrict airflow, affecting performance and potentially leading to dangerous gases like carbon monoxide lingering in your home.
At Wright’s Chimney Sweep, we recommend an annual sweep for gas and oil flues to keep them running smoothly and safely. Regular maintenance also helps spot potential issues before they become costly repairs.
Peace of mind, better efficiency, and a safer home—that’s what we’re here for! Get in touch with Wright’s Chimney Sweep today to schedule your sweep.
Yes! Moving into a new home is exciting, but it’s always a good idea to have the chimney checked before lighting your first fire or using your appliances. You may not know when it was last swept, and there could be hidden issues like soot buildup, blockages, or even structural problems that need attention.
At Wright’s Chimney Sweep, we recommend a professional inspection and cleaning to ensure everything is safe and working efficiently. A clean chimney means better airflow, reduced fire risk, and peace of mind knowing your home is safe for you and your family.

It is highly recommended to have your chimney swept before closing it off. Over time, soot, creosote, and debris can build up inside, and sealing a chimney without cleaning it first can lead to lingering odours, damp issues, and even potential structural problems.
At Wright’s Chimney Sweep, we ensure your chimney is properly cleaned before closure, so you won’t have to worry about future complications. Whether you’re blocking it off permanently or just sealing it temporarily, a clean chimney means a fresher, safer home.
