Original Clean Sweep from the newspaper in 1991
Original

Mr and Mrs Tony Daniells took over the running of the business from Mr Worbey back in 1991, and could be recognised sweeping chimneys in Hertfordshire by their little blue van until 2012. 

In 2012 their son Gareth; an ex-royal marine and his partner Heather have taken over the family business and have extended services to the Herts, Beds and Bucks areas that are within 20 miles of Hitchin. Look for our silver vans in your area.

Cleansweep Vac Services has been providing outstanding service, sweeping open fires, gas fires, boilers, pellet stoves, multi-fuel and wood burners for over 35 years and even have a mention in the museum in Hitchin!

We are a HETAS approved chimney sweep
Experienced

We are HETAS approved which means we can provide a HETAS certificate for you if your insurance company requires it.

Not to be confused with lesser companies in the area with very similar names, we are unlike other chimney sweeps we vacuum as we clean. We use flexible rods by hand, thus treating your installation and appliance with the care and respect it needs. We keep the power brushes for thick creosote as they can damage your flexible liner.

We can advise on repairs to your fireplace and chimney; how to stop animals nesting in your chimney; changing your fire type, and can even show you how to light your fire if needs be.

Book your chimney sweep online
Modern

Online booking, email reminders and electronic invoicing and payment methods have brought us into the modern age.

We use efficient routes to save fuel also share an electric vehicle with our sister company GTD Installations Ltd, helping reduce our carbon footprint. Chimney sweeping certificates are now issued electronically rather than posted.

We provide our own dust sheets to keep your property clean and soot-free. Check facebook, google reviews and yell.com to find many reviews from our happy customers. 

Our regular customer from Gamlingay to St. Albans and Woburn to Anstey particularly love our flexibility, helpful advice and clean service.

Industry Standard / HETAS Chimney Sweeping

A single sweep of a standard sized, well maintained, open fire chimney usually takes around half an hour to 45 minutes. A logburner or multi-fuel stove used correctly and burning good quality fuel at the correct temperature can be very clean and may take around 20 minutes. Brushes and rods are used and a vacuum cleaner to remove the falling dust. The opening of the fireplace and the carpet or flooring will be covered to avoid the soot coming back into your room. The whole of the chimney will be swept until you can see the brush sticking out of the chimney as required by the Industry Standards. The CO alarm will be checked and the fireplace or logburner cleaned.

Certification
  • Standard certificates and receipts are sent electronically at no extra cost.
  • HETAS certificates can be issued for an extra fee.
  • Printed certificates can be mailed for an additional fee.

If you do not provide an email address you will not automatically be sent a certificate for your sweep.

Competitive pricing

Cleansweep Vac Services can sweep a standard chimney for you quickly and cleanly from £55 per chimney. We'll also clean out your fireplace or stove including the glass as part of the service and advise on any further maintenance needed.  Discounts are available , check out our booking page for more information. 

Note- Larger chimney stacks such as inglenooks take longer and thus cost more. Removing blockages or birds nests also costs a little extra.
