Services
Everything a chimney needs, done properly.
From a once a year sweep on a cottage open fire to a twelve flue contract for a country estate, one family team, one standard, covering all of Norfolk from our base in Fakenham.
SG Chimney Sweep has been established since 2016. Founder Steven Gerrard and his son in law Jamie Moulton are both registered with the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, fully insured, and between them they've swept thousands of chimneys in homes, pubs, hotels and farm buildings across the county. Steven is also NVQ qualified as a chimney sweep through the Guild.
Domestic chimney sweeping
The bread and butter of what we do, and the reason most of Norfolk calls us. Whether you light your fire every evening through winter or just a handful of times a year, an annual sweep keeps it drawing properly, burning efficiently and, above all, safely.
- ◆Open fires, wood burners, multi fuel stoves, Agas and oil boiler flues
- ◆Full sheeting up and industrial vacuum, so we leave the room cleaner than we found it
- ◆Creosote, soot and bird nest removal, plus a cowl and terminal check as standard
- ◆Smoke draw test on every sweep, and a formal certificate for your records
Commercial & corporate contracts
We currently sweep for pubs, restaurants, hotels, holiday lets, estates and offices across Norfolk: businesses that can't afford a cold hearth on a Friday night or a failed inspection in peak season.
- ◆Scheduled service at an interval that suits your usage, whether monthly, quarterly or annually
- ◆Out of hours and early morning appointments so your kitchen or fire room stays open
- ◆Per flue certificates and smoke or CCTV reports filed for your insurer, landlord or EHO
- ◆Consolidated invoicing across multiple sites, with one point of contact for the whole portfolio
Corporate chimney sweeping
For Norfolk farms, estates and larger organisations we build a bespoke contract around your buildings rather than asking you to fit a standard visit. Jamie or Steve will walk the site, count the flues and quote for the year, usually the same day.
- ◆Farms, estates, holiday cottage portfolios, letting agents and facility managers
- ◆One annual schedule covering every flue on the site or across several sites
- ◆Bespoke per flue pricing agreed up front, with no surprises mid contract
- ◆Request a quote by calling Jamie or Steve directly
Inspections & certificates
Not every job needs a sweep. If you've just moved house, had a bird take up residence, or your insurer or HETAS-registered installer wants paperwork, we carry out formal inspections and issue the certificates to match.
- ◆CCTV camera surveys of the full flue, with footage you can see, not just a verdict
- ◆Smoke evacuation tests to prove the chimney draws as it should
- ◆Cowl, cap and terminal fitting to keep birds and rain out for good
- ◆Formal sweep certificates accepted by insurers, HETAS installers and conveyancers
