Many households enjoy the cosy atmosphere of a real fire or snug stove. Clean Sweep Chimney is based in Little Smeaton, but we proudly serve all surrounding districts and locations—from cities like Doncaster and Wakefield to smaller villages like Norton and Campsall—we’re happy to assist wherever you’re located! Even the most comfortable evening near the hearth can be disrupted by unexpected smoke leaks, unpleasant sooty smells, or a stubborn flue that doesn’t draw properly. Over time, soot and creosote buildup can become more than just a nuisance—they may pose serious risks such as chimney fires or compromised ventilation.
Soot and creosote reduce efficiency and pose safety threats.
Every fire, whether it’s an open hearth or a modern stove, produces byproducts that gradually accumulate in the flue. Burning wood leaves behind sticky creosote, while coal fires deposit heavier soot layers. Gas appliances, though seemingly cleaner, can still become blocked by debris or bird nests. Left unattended, these blockages reduce airflow, causing smoke or fumes to drift back into your room or forcing fires to burn inefficiently, requiring more fuel.
Long-term buildup may cause unpleasant odours, especially noticeable on damp days, or visible staining around the fireplace opening. Ignored issues can escalate into serious hazards, including chimney fires or harmful gases entering your home.
One provider handling sweeps, stove relining, and more.
Clean Sweep Chimney addresses every chimney-related issue with comprehensive solutions. We handle soot and creosote removal using rotary methods for thick deposits, viper sweeping for narrow flues, and manual sweeps for large, open fireplaces, ensuring all residues are thoroughly cleared. Should your stove or chimney liner show signs of wear or damage, we provide vermiculite boarding or replacement lining options. Our approach saves you from calling multiple specialists—one detailed appointment addresses all your needs, from log-burning stoves and gas flues to traditional coal fires.
Our professional technicians arrive equipped with protective dust sheets, specialised vacuums, and a respectful attitude toward your home. We strive to minimise dust and conclude every job with a detailed inspection. If we identify issues such as chimney stack cracks or liner deterioration, we discuss potential solutions clearly, ensuring transparency and peace of mind throughout the process.

Our technician visits your home, covering floors with dust sheets and choosing the optimal sweeping method. They remove soot and creosote and thoroughly inspect your flue for hidden hazards.
If additional maintenance—such as liner repairs or boarding—is necessary, we’ll discuss this with you directly. You’ll also receive practical advice on future sweeps, appropriate fuel use, and maintenance routines.
