Ash Tree

Environmentally Friendly

Dry, responsibly sourced wood is the ethical choice to heat your living space because wood not a fossil fuel and so burning it does not add to the atmospheric carbon dioxide which is causing climate change.

Chimney

Air Quality

Whether you use wood or another solid fuel you need do two other things to be fair to local lungs. Use a modern accredited stove to minimise heavy and harmful soot particles. And regularly sweep your flue to remove these particles before they climb your flue and escape into the environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chimney Sweep FAQs

Straight answers to the things we’re asked most often on the Fylde Coast and beyond.

It’s generally recommended to have your chimney swept at least once a year, especially if you use it regularly during colder months. The ideal frequency depends on how often you use your fireplace or stove and the type of fuel you burn. Wood-burning appliances typically produce more soot and creosote and may require cleaning every three to six months. If you're unsure, Harper’s Chimney Sweeps can inspect your chimney and advise on a suitable cleaning schedule. Regular sweeping improves safety and enhances the efficiency of your heating appliance. We cover The Fylde Coast, West Norfolk, Preston, Plymouth and Portsmouth, and we’re always happy to help keep your home safe and warm.

Common indicators include a smoky smell indoors, fires that don’t draw well, black marks around the fireplace or stove, or visible debris in the hearth. Wood burners and log burners can produce excess creosote, which may lead to blockages if left too long. If smoke is backing up or airflow is poor, it’s time to get it checked. At Harper’s Chimney Sweeps, we provide thorough inspections and sweeping services for homes and businesses across Preston, Cleveleys, West Norfolk and beyond. A clean chimney means a safer, more efficient heating appliance—and peace of mind all year round.

Not at all. When done professionally, chimney sweeping is clean and efficient. We use high-efficiency vacuums, dust sheets and professional tools to keep your home spotless. Whether we’re cleaning an open fireplace or servicing a wood burner, we work with care and precision. The average sweep takes under an hour and requires very little disruption. From Thornton and Poulton-le-Fylde to Portsmouth and Plymouth, our courteous technicians deliver a smooth, tidy service with flexible appointments.

Yes. Even occasional use can lead to soot or creosote build-up—especially with wood burners and log burners. Infrequent use doesn’t prevent blockages: bird nests, cobwebs or debris can restrict airflow. We recommend an annual inspection and sweep regardless of usage. We help homeowners across The Fylde Coast, West Norfolk and Plymouth keep their chimneys and stoves safe, even if they’re only used a few times a year. Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to fire safety.

We proudly cover a wide range of areas across the UK, including The Fylde Coast, West Norfolk, Preston, Plymouth and Portsmouth, plus surrounding towns and villages. If you’re just outside these areas, contact us—we’ll do our best to accommodate. Whether you need a one-time sweep, a safety inspection or regular annual servicing, we’re here to help. Call 01253 366020 or use the form below to check availability and book an appointment that suits your schedule.

Prices start from £70 for a standard sweep. Sweep & Service from £120, and Sweep, Service & Full Respray from £180. For an exact quote, call 01253 366020.

Yes. We email a certificate on completion and send a 12-month reminder when your next sweep is due.

We’re fully insured and HETAS-approved, and we follow industry best practice on safety and cleanliness.

Yes — we sweep open fires and all common stove types. You can also book a Sweep & Service, or a Sweep, Service & Full Respray to revive a tired stove.

Please clear the hearth, remove any ash if safe to do so, and don’t use the appliance for at least 12 hours before we arrive. If access or parking is tricky, let us know when you book.
