Costs
Costs vary dramatically depending on the job. The price depends upon a wide range of different issues: the type of chimney installed; the type of fuel that is to be used; the condition of the existing chimney, or if it is a new chimney. It is worth contacting a variety of chimney suppliers or sweeps to get alternative quotes and advice. Take the time at this stage to compare services.
What questions should I ask chimney companies?
- Are you NACS registered?
- Can I have a quote before work is started?
- What type of chimney is best for my home?
- What are the pros and cons of different types of chimneys?
- Are there any implications that I haven't considered?
- How long is the work likely to take?
