When you book The Good Sweep you are not just getting someone with a brush. Rick is a HETAS qualified chimney sweep, a Member of the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps and approved by the Thatch Advice Centre. He also has a background as a chartered builder with the Chartered Institute of Building, with a special interest in energy efficiency and building physics.
This rare combination means you get practical advice as well as a clean chimney. Rick can explain how your particular property behaves, from modern homes to thatched and historic buildings, and how to run your fire or stove in a way that reduces risk, improves draw and makes better use of your fuel.
Every visit is carried out with care and respect for your home. Floors and furniture are protected, powerful vacuums control soot and ash, and appointments are booked for a specific time so you know when to expect us. The result is a professional service that many local homeowners now rely on year after year.
The Good Sweep provides a full range of chimney services for homes in Bury St Edmunds and within a 20 radius.
This includes chimney sweeping for open fires and stoves, CCTV chimney inspections, bird nest and blockage removal and specialist work for thatched and historic properties.
Most of our work comes from repeat customers and recommendations from neighbours. Homeowners across Bury St Edmunds, Stowmarket, Thetford, Newmarket, Mildenhall and many surrounding villages choose The Good Sweep because they value a clean job, clear advice and a friendly face they know they can trust. If you need your chimney swept or inspected, we would be pleased to look after your home too.
