Our Services.

Inspections and Sweeping.

​​

Chimney sweep prices include a site visit and firebox inspection fee, as we check the condition of the firebox to ensure it is safe to use before sweeping it. We will also advise of any maintenance or repairs required to make or keep the fire safe and efficient.

​

These prices are per fire and include GST. ​

 

We are not able to sweep: Pyroclassic, pellet fires, or Woodsman ECR NOVO fires due to their design.

​

"Just while you are here" 

We are often asked to carry out repairs on fires that are not mentioned at the time of booking. Since the cost we quote is for an inspection and sweep, there may be an additional charge for extra work that you want done "while we are there". If there is something that you want us to fix then please mention it at the time of booking, so that we can advise of the cost and allow extra time if needed.

​

Additional services

​

We are experienced in carrying out replacement parts maintenance on wood and multi fuel fires. This includes replacing fire bricks, baffles, castings, air tubes and seals. Maintenance on older model fires is subject to parts availability but we will do our best to keep the fire you have in good working order.

​

Bricks and baffle boards.

We take great care while working on a fire, but the nature of fire bricks and board/brick top baffles means that some breakage does occasionally occur. We will do our best to inform you of any concerns we have regarding the risk of potential breakage, but we are not liable for replacing such parts if they do break during handling as part of an inspection or sweep.

​

Cowlings.

We work on the assumption that a cowling is secured (screwed or riveted down) but we do take care to not hit it with undue force. If a cowling is knocked off during a sweep, or it falls apart because it is due for replacement, we are not liable for putting it back on, repairing or replacing it. 

​

Cowlings that require tar cleared out by hand are the result of a fire not being used correctly, or due to burning unseasoned wood. We will do our best to get on the roof to attend to these cowlings but due to Working at Height requirements, we reserve the right to decide on the day if it is safe for us to do so and it will incur a $20 roof work charge. 

​

Work we are not able to do.

​

Our service focuses on sweeping and firebox maintenance and we are not equipped to up to carry out work on some roofs. This type of work is best carried out by equipped contractors due to insurance and Work Safe requirements.
