Chimney Sweeping in Cheshire

Clean. Safe. Compliant.
At Gorilla Sweep & Stoves, we provide professional chimney sweeping for log-burners, multi-fuel stoves, open fires and AGAs across Cheshire and South Manchester. Every sweep is carried out with precision, using rotary-power or traditional brush systems, ensuring your flue is clear, efficient and compliant with HETAS and insurance standards.
Our technicians protect every home as carefully as our own — from dust-sheeted floors to HEPA-filtered vacuums — leaving your fireplace spotless and safe to use the same day.
Why Regular Chimney Sweeping Matters
- Reduces fire risk: removes soot, tar and creosote before they ignite.
- Improves performance: better draw and cleaner burn, saving fuel.
- Prevents smoke leakage: maintains correct flue pressure and airflow.
- Protects your appliance warranty & insurance: most insurers require an annual certificate from a qualified sweep.
- Extends flue life: regular maintenance prevents corrosion and blockages.
