What we see in Ipswich homes
Ipswich is the south-eastern edge of our patch. The north and west of the town and the villages up the A14 towards Stowmarket are our regular ground, and Kesgrave and Martlesham are still inside range. The Victorian and Edwardian streets round Christchurch Park, Broomhill and Westerfield Road have the original chimneys, often two or three per house, and a good number of them now serve a stove rather than the open grate they were built for. Claydon, Bramford, Sproughton and Coddenham are older village houses with wider flues, and some thatch.
Felixstowe and the coast are right at the edge of our 30 miles; if you are out that way, ring with the postcode and we will say straight away.

Getting to you
Ipswich is about 40 minutes down the A14 from Great Barton. We pair Ipswich with Stowmarket and Needham Market jobs, so a date is easiest if you can offer two possible days.
What a sweep in Ipswich costs
From £75 with the insurance certificate, price confirmed before we start. If there is more than one flue in the house, tell us when you book so we quote for all of them at once.
Questions we get asked in Ipswich
The previous owner said our stove has a liner. How do we know?
Look at the pot: a lined flue usually has a stainless terminal or a cowl fixed to a steel liner rather than a bare clay pot. The sweep itself tells us the rest, because a liner feels and sounds different from brick. If it matters for a sale or an insurer, a camera inspection, priced separately, settles it.
How do we know whether the last sweep did a proper job?
A proper sweep leaves you with a certificate, tells you what came out and what the flue looked like, and leaves no soot in the room. If you got none of those, we start from scratch and show you what we find.
Our house has three chimneys and we only use one. Do we pay for three?
No. You pay for the flues we sweep. We will look at the unused ones if you ask and tell you whether they need capping or ventilating, but we do not sweep flues that have not been used.
