Limestone cottages with thick walls and offset flues that need flexible rodding and a camera check.
Chimney sweeping in Kendal & South Lakes
Kendal's grey limestone stonework and thick-walled cottages make for deep, twisting flues that reward a thorough sweep. Across the South Lakes we see a high proportion of hard-working multi-fuel stoves burning through long, cold winters, plus twin-wall systems on barn conversions. Bends and offsets are common, so rods and brush heads are matched to the flue rather than forced through.
Heavy seasonal use on multi-fuel stoves means faster soot and tar build-up than average.
Barn conversions with twin-wall insulated flue systems requiring joint and support inspection.
Villages we cover around Kendal
All of these sit on our scheduled travel corridor for LA8, LA9, so booking a day we're already working nearby means a tighter arrival window.

What's included
HEPA soot containment
Clean sheets down first, then a HEPA-filtered vacuum runs throughout the sweep so soot stays in the machine and not in your room.
Full chimney sweep & firebox clean
Flue rodded and brushed end to end, firebox, baffle and grate cleaned, and the draw checked before we pack away.
Immediate digital certificate
Your insurance-standard certificate is issued and emailed straight after the visit, with any recommendations written down.

Twin-wall system on a barn conversion and he checked every joint and support as well as sweeping it. Dust sheets, HEPA vacuum, everything left as he found it. The written certificate was clear and actually useful.

We burn hard all winter so the stove was well overdue. Turned up on time, cleaned the firebox and baffle properly, told me honestly which parts had another season in them. No mess whatsoever and a certificate the same day.
