About Denley's

My name is James and I'm a professional chimney sweep based in Carnforth, looking after customers across North Lancashire and South Cumbria — from Bentham in the north to Morecambe and Heysham in the south.

I trained at the Heat Training Centre and provide traditional and modern chimney sweeping, cowl fitting and stove servicing. I hold commercial and public liability insurance, and on completion I issue a professional certificate detailing the work carried out along with any recommendations.

I pride myself on a reliable, high quality service with a clean and friendly approach, and I'm always happy to talk through your burning habits and how best to look after your stove.

Services we offer

Chimney sweeping

Chimneys are like boilers — they need regular maintenance to stay safe and efficient. A neglected flue draws poorly, burns badly, and risks carbon monoxide or a chimney fire. Annual sweeping is the industry standard, more often with heavy use.

Stove servicing

Seals wear, glass crazes and fire bricks crack. A proper service checks the rope seals, baffle plates, grate and firebricks, replacing what needs replacing so your stove runs safely and burns cleanly.

Cowl supply & fitting

A well fitted cowl keeps birds out of the chimney and rain out of the flue — two problems that get expensive if they're left. Fitting is straightforward on most properties, subject to safe access.

Nest removal

Jackdaw nests block flues completely and are a serious fire and fume risk. Nest and debris clearance is followed by a full sweep, with a CCTV check where the flue needs a closer look.

Prices are shown when you start a booking. Nest removal, cowl fitting and roof work are quoted individually.
