What we see in Haverhill homes
Haverhill grew fast in the sixties and seventies and most of that housing went up without a chimney. So when the phone rings from Haverhill itself it is usually a stove that was fitted later on a twin-wall flue, and the real question is whether anyone has swept it since.
Around the town it is a different picture. Kedington, Clare, Hundon and the villages over the Essex and Cambridgeshire borders, Steeple Bumpstead, Castle Camps, are full of older cottages with open fires and burners in wide old flues, some of them under thatch.

Getting to you
Haverhill is the far edge of our patch, about 35 minutes from Great Barton, so we like to group Haverhill jobs together. If you can be a little flexible on the day we can usually sort you the same week outside the autumn rush; if you need a fixed date, say so and we will work round it.
What a sweep in Haverhill costs
Sweeps start at £75 with the insurance certificate, and the price is agreed before we start, not worked out afterwards. A camera inspection is a separate job with its own price, only suggested when there is a reason for one.
Questions we get asked in Haverhill
Our house in Haverhill has no chimney but the last owners put a log burner in. Does it still need a sweep and a certificate?
Yes on both. The steel flue collects soot and tar like any chimney, and your insurer treats a stove as a solid fuel appliance whatever the flue is made of. We sweep it through the stove and issue the certificate on the day.
We are just over the border in Steeple Bumpstead. Do you come out this far?
Yes. We cover 30 miles around Great Barton, which takes in the Essex and Cambridgeshire villages round Haverhill. If you are unsure, ring with the postcode.
The open fire in our cottage in Clare smokes back into the room when we light it. What is going on?
Most often one of three things: a flue narrowed by soot and tar, a cold flue that has not warmed enough to pull, or a nest or debris sitting in it. A sweep deals with the first and the third and tells us which it was. If it is a draught problem with the fireplace itself we say so rather than guessing.
