Listed and period stone properties where unlined or ageing liners need careful inspection.
Chimney sweeping in Kirkby Lonsdale & Upper Lune Valley
Kirkby Lonsdale and the Upper Lune Valley are stone country: period cottages, listed properties and farmhouses with tall stacks and generous inglenooks. Many flues here are unlined or lined decades ago, so an honest inspection matters as much as the sweep itself. Rural stacks also see heavy jackdaw activity through spring.
Large inglenook openings that draw poorly unless the throat and register plate are set up correctly.
High jackdaw nesting activity on rural stacks — cowls and bird guards strongly recommended.

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.

Big old inglenook that had never drawn properly. He swept it, tested the draw and explained clearly what was causing the smoke spillage without any pressure to spend money. Sheets down, vacuum on, not a trace of soot afterwards.

Jackdaws again. Cleared the nest, swept the flue and fitted a guard so it won't happen next spring. Arrived when he said he would, worked cleanly and the certificate landed in my inbox the same day.
