Churchleys Chimneys are a proud local professional Chimney Sweeping service based in Braunston, Northamptonshire.  We principally cover Daventry, Southam, Rugby and surrounding villages.  If your chimney needs sweeping and you are a bit further afield please contact us.

We have been fully trained and are members of the National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS).  NACS  are the largest Trade Association for professional Chimney Sweeps.  Our sweeps carry £5m public liability and indemnity insurance ensuring you are in the safest of hands.

Upon our sweeps' prompt arrival, they will inspect the chimney from outside your property ensuring you have the correct chimney/flue termination.  We will then knock on your door and introduce ourselves, our well-presented sweep will then take great care in the preparation of  your home before the commencement of sweeping your chimney. The sweep will ensure that all carpets/floor coverings are covered and that your home is left as clean as when we entered it.  Our sweeps carry plenty of the best protective sheeting on the market which will be placed from your front door to the fireplace opening. If this is unpractical our sweeps will use overshoes to protect your home.   

Once our sweep is happy that your property is well protected, they will start inspecting inside the chimney/flue which includes testing the draw on the chimney.  Once they are happy it is safe to proceed the sweep will seal the chimney/stove using adhesive tape and Denim Soot Socks.    Our Hepa rated Vacuum pipes will be sealed in the the Chimney/Stove in the aforementioned process, this will  then be turned on to assist in the removal of the soot from the Chimney/Flue. This can be a little noisy.

Once our sweep has pushed their brushes up and out of the chimney pot you will be invited to come and make a wish.   In British folklore it is believed to be very good luck to see a chimney sweep's brush emerge out of the top of a chimney/flue. Just make sure you don't tell anyone otherwise it may not come true!!

Once you have made your wish our sweep will continue with the cleaning process.  Once our sweep is happy your chimney/flue is safe and clean, they will conduct a smoke evacuation test to ensure the draw is sufficient.  The sweep will then clean their equipment away and issue a certificate of Chimney Sweeping that you will need for your home insurance

You will be left with a "Heat your Home Safely" Leaflet which promotes good practice in the use of chimneys and stoves.

Sometimes through our external and internal inspections our sweep may identify other issues.  Our sweeps will endeavour to bring these to your attention at the earliest opportunity and discuss the options available to you.

Our priority is to keep your chimney clean and you, your family and your home safe.
