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?
