River Chimney Sweep
We cover all of South East Kent from Dover, Folkestone, Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate, Sandwich, Deal and all areas inbetween. We are a family run, local Chimney Sweep based in Dover, Kent. We are fully ICS trained and we supply an insurance approved certificate to every sweep we complete.

Our sweeping equipment is very modern and we like to use our power sweeping brushes where possible as they remove more soot than standard hand brushes. If you require your chimney swept or unblocked, and would like it cleaned with the knowledge that the work will be completed with minimal fuss and disturbance.
Services
We offer a traditional way of chimney sweeping combined with using modern rods, brushes & scrapers to remove soot and debris from the chimney, throughout the sweep we use a professional chimney sweep vacuum to minimize the soot escaping into the room. Included in each sweep is a smoke draw test and a complete inspection of the chimney.
A chimney is exposed to the elements and is particularly vulnerable to high winds. If gaps in the mortar of the chimney are starting to appear then it is probably time to get it inspected. At the extreme the chimney can collapse so don't ignore signs of cracks. Chimneys can be close to the edge of a hip roof or in the middle of the roof on the ridge.
Regular inspection and cleaning of chimney flues will help prevent fires within chimneys, most chimney fires are preventable. Too many people die each year in the UK from Carbon Monoxide poisoning and many become chronically ill, with symptoms including headaches and drowsiness, it's often confused with flu.

Marcus has always given great service with sweeping the chimney. He recently re-pointed the chimney stack and added new cowls, he did a really neat and tidy job. A nice guy and totally trustworthy.
