Are you wondering about the cost of a chimney sweep for your wood burner or open fire in Poole, Bournemouth, or anywhere in Dorset for the upcoming 2025/2026 season?
Look no further! Jim Chim-in-ey has released his latest pricing, making it easy to budget for your essential chimney maintenance.
Keeping your chimney swept regularly is not just a recommendation; it's crucial for the safety and efficiency of your wood burner or open fire. Neglecting this vital maintenance can lead to dangerous creosote build-up, increasing the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide poisoning. But what can you expect to pay for these essential chimney sweeping services in the Poole, Bournemouth, and wider Dorset area?
We've broken down Jim Chim-in-ey's 2025/2026 price list to answer your burning questions and help you plan.
How much does a chimney sweep cost for a wood burner in Poole, Bournemouth, or Dorset in 2025/2026?
For lined woodburners and multi-fuel stoves (lined), Jim Chim-in-ey's Tier One sweep cost for 2025/2026 is £76.00. This covers the professional cleaning of your flue, ensuring it's clear and safe for use.
If you have an unlined stove, which often requires a more intricate sweeping process, the price falls into Tier Two at £96.00. This also applies to pre-liner sweeps for new wood burner installations, ensuring the flue is clean before a new liner is fitted.
What is the price for an open fire chimney sweep in Dorset for the 2025/2026 season?
The cost for an open fire sweep depends on the size of the opening of your fireplace:
- For open fires with an opening below 65cm, the Tier One price is £76.00. These are typically standard-sized open fireplaces.
- For large open fires (above 65cm opening) and traditional Inglenook fireplaces, which often have wider and taller openings, the Tier Two price is £96.00. These larger fireplaces can accumulate more soot and creosote, requiring more time and specialized equipment.
What are the 2025/2026 prices for other chimney-related services from Jim Chim-in-ey?
Beyond standard sweeps, Jim Chim-in-ey offers several other essential services to maintain the safety and functionality of your chimney system.
Chimney Cowl / Cap Fitting: This includes the supply of the cowl/cap and professional installation, costing £220.00. This service covers a range of needs, including:
Solid fuel bird protecting cowls: Essential for preventing birds from nesting in active chimneys.
Disused chimney pot caps (Capping): Ideal for sealing off unused chimneys to prevent water ingress and wildlife.
Gas cowls: Specifically designed for gas fire flues.
Need more than one? Each additional cap/cowl fitted on the same property at the same time is an extra £90.00, offering a cost-effective solution for multiple chimney pots.
Live Bird Removal: If you find a feathered friend unexpectedly stuck in your chimney, Jim can provide a safe and humane live bird removal service for £110.00.
Bird Nest Removal: Got a more substantial problem with an established nest? Bird nest removal is £155.00. Please note this service is only available during the months of September to February due to wildlife protection regulations that prevent disturbance during nesting season.
Important Note for Thatched Properties in Dorset:
Important Update: Due to specific insurance and regulation concerns related to thatched roofs, Jim Chim-in-ey is no longer sweeping thatched properties. If you own a thatched home, you will need to seek an alternative chimney sweep.
