About Us
At River Chimney Sweep, we take great pride in our work, and our customers can expect the highest standards of professionalism and service. We are fully trained and certified by the Institute of Chimney Sweeps (ICS), ensuring that every sweep we complete is carried out to the strictest industry standards. We provide an insurance-approved certificate for every sweep we complete, giving our customers the peace of mind that their chimney has been swept by a qualified professional.
Our Equipment
We use only the most modern and up-to-date sweeping equipment, including power sweeping brushes that remove more soot than standard hand brushes. This, combined with our traditional sweeping techniques, ensures a thorough clean every time. We use a professional chimney sweep vacuum throughout the sweep, minimizing the soot that escapes into the room and leaving your home clean and tidy.
