The Chimney Guys – Chimney Sweep Sydney – Inspection, Cleaning & Repairs
Soot, Smoke or Build-Up in Your Chimney?
Every time you use a wood-burning fireplace, soot and creosote can gradually accumulate inside the chimney and flue. If left unchecked, this build-up can restrict airflow, contribute to smoke entering the room and increase the risk of chimney-related problems.
The Chimney Guys provide professional chimney sweeping and inspection across Sydney. We remove soot, ash, creosote and debris, check for blockages or nesting, and assess the general condition of your chimney and flue.
Whether your fireplace is used regularly through winter or only occasionally, routine chimney maintenance helps keep it clean, functional and ready for safe use.
Price
How Much Does a Chimney Sweep Cost in Sydney?
Chimney sweeping starts from $349 + GST ($383.90 including GST). It's the same starting price for an open fireplace or a wood heater flue, and your exact price is confirmed before any work starts.
What's Included in Every Sweep
From
$349+ GST
- Flue swept from top to bottom
- Firebox cleaned and ash removed
- Camera inspection inside the chimney
- Draught (smoke) test after the clean
- Zero mess: floors and furniture covered, soot contained
- Open fireplaces and wood heater flues
What Changes the Price?
- Time since the last sweep: heavy soot and creosote take longer to clear.
- Height and roof access: a double-storey chimney or a steep roof takes more time.
- Number of chimneys: several flues on one visit are priced upfront.
- Nests and blockages: removal is quoted before any extra work is done.
Also available: chimney caps and bird mesh, nest removal and small repairs, always quoted first. A signed compliance certificate is available on request.

Warning Signs Your Chimney Needs Attention
How It Works
How Our Chimney Sweeping Process Works
Simple booking, thorough cleaning and practical chimney care.
1
Request a Chimney Sweep Quote
Contact our team through the online form or call 1300 380 090. Let us know your Sydney suburb, fireplace type and any concerns you have noticed, such as smoke, soot, unusual smells or poor draft.
2
We Confirm Your Fireplace Details
We will confirm whether you have an open fireplace, wood heater or another chimney setup and discuss the service required. Providing details about recent use, previous cleaning and any noticeable chimney problems helps us understand what may need attention.
3
Your Fireplace Area Is Prepared
Before cleaning begins, our technician assesses the accessible fireplace and chimney areas and protects nearby flooring and surfaces with appropriate coverings. This helps keep soot, ash and debris contained throughout the sweeping process.
4
The Chimney & Flue Are Thoroughly Cleaned
Specialist chimney sweeping equipment is used to remove built-up soot, ash, creosote and accessible debris from the chimney and flue. We also check for common obstructions such as nesting material, leaves and other debris that may restrict airflow.
5
Final Checks & Maintenance Advice
Once cleaning is complete, we run a draught (smoke) test and identify visible concerns such as blockages, cracks or signs of animal nesting. Our technician will explain any findings and provide recommendations for future chimney maintenance where required.
Why Regular Chimney Cleaning Matters
Routine chimney care helps keep your fireplace cleaner, clearer and ready for use.
Soot, creosote, ash and debris can gradually collect inside your chimney and flue. Professional sweeping helps remove this build-up, maintain clear airflow and identify common issues such as blockages, nesting or excessive deposits before your fireplace is used regularly.
Removes Soot & Creosote Build-Up
Professional sweeping clears accumulated soot, ash and creosote from accessible areas of the chimney and flue.
Supports Better Chimney Draft
Keeping the flue clear helps smoke and combustion gases travel more freely through the chimney.
Helps Reduce Smoke Problems
Removing excessive deposits and obstructions can help address airflow issues that contribute to smoke backing into the room.
Clears Debris & Obstructions
Cleaning can remove accessible leaves, nesting material and other debris that may restrict the chimney or flue.
Helps Reduce Fireplace Odours
Removing accumulated soot, ash and debris can help reduce persistent smoky smells coming from the fireplace or chimney.
Identifies Maintenance Concerns
Routine servicing provides an opportunity to identify visible blockages, nesting, cracks or other concerns that may require further attention.
