About Charlie's Chimneys
Charlie's Chimneys
A clean chimney means a warmer, safer and more efficient fire—perfect for those cosy nights in.
Using the latest Rota-Rods power sweeping equipment, you get a more deeper and efficient clean over old-fashioned brush methods. It’s not just cleaner—it’s better for your home, your chimney and your peace of mind.
On completion of every sweep a swept chimney certificate is issued indicating Standards compliance status, often required for insurance, landlords and stove guarantees.

This ensures that every service provided meets the highest industry standards, giving you complete confidence in your chimney's safety and performance and, for your peace mind.
We offer expert advice on a range of important issues and the issued certificate complies with the National Standard Certificate of Completion; suitable for meeting insurance requirements for a regularly swept chimney.
