Why It Matters to Get the Right Team
Downdrafts and backflow can be dangerous
A blocked chimney sends smoke, soot, and even carbon monoxide into your home. A proper clean improves draft and keeps your family safe.
Creosote is a fire risk, even in mild climates
Many assume fires only happen in freezing places — but creosote is flammable in any climate. One missed sweep can be all it takes.
The wrong sweep can damage your chimney
It’s not just about brushing soot. An inexperienced sweep might crack your flue liner, dislodge seals, or leave buildup behind.

Questions people ask about chimney cleaning services
Are chimney sweepers still a thing in Cape Town?
Yes — and they’re more necessary than ever. With closed homes and more fireplace use in winter, professional sweeps are in high demand.
How much does a chimney sweep usually cost in Cape Town?
Prices vary depending on access and chimney type, but most standard sweeps fall in the R600–R900 range. We’ll quote you fairly upfront.
Do I need to sweep if I barely use my fireplace?
Even rarely used chimneys collect dust, nesting material, and moisture — all of which can lead to blockages and corrosion.
What happens if I don't clean my chimney regularly?
Neglecting chimney maintenance can lead to creosote buildup, increased fire hazards, and reduced heating efficiency. Regular cleaning prevents costly repairs and safety risks.
