Our Core Specialist Services in Midlothian
We provide a comprehensive "Under One Roof" service model, ensuring that every aspect of your chimney’s health is managed by professionals. We categorize our primary maintenance tasks into four elite service pillars:
1. Annual Chimney Sweep Midlothian
The Annual Chimney Sweep is the most critical safety task for any homeowner. Our NACS-certified sweeps utilize advanced rotary power sweeping and traditional brush techniques to ensure your flue is clear of creosote, soot, and obstructions. We provide an official NACS certificate with every sweep, which is essential for home insurance compliance.
2. Open Fire Maintenance
Traditional open fires are the heart of many Midlothian period properties. We specialize in the maintenance of these systems, ensuring the throat, damper, and flue are functioning optimally to prevent smoke blowback and maximize heat efficiency.
3. Log / Wood Burner Servicing
High-end hardware like Aga, Charnwood, and Clearview stoves require specialized knowledge. Our servicing includes rope seal inspections, firebrick checks, and glass cleaning, ensuring your investment continues to perform at its peak.
4. Multi-Fuel Stove Care
Multi-fuel systems face unique stresses from varying fuel types. We provide meticulous internal cleaning and hardware checks to ensure the longevity of your stove and the safety of your household.
The "Under One Roof" Advantage: Sweeping Meets Heritage Repair
What sets Chimney Fix Services apart is our ability to handle more than just the soot. As a division of Roof Fix Services Limited, we bridge the gap between internal maintenance and external structural integrity.
While we are NACS certified for all sweeping and inspection work, we maintain an exclusive partnership with a HETAS-approved installer for all complex stove installations and hardware work. This means you get the best of both worlds: NACS-standard safety inspections and HETAS-standard installation expertise, all managed through a single, trusted point of contact.
Specialism in Heritage Masonry
Midlothian is famous for its sandstone architecture. Unlike generalist contractors who might use cheap bitu-mastic or flashband, we prioritize Heritage Craftsmanship.
- Sandstone Chimney Stacks: We specialize in the restoration of traditional stacks.
- Traditional Lime Mortar: We never use cement on heritage stone. Our team uses authentic lime mortar pointing to allow the stone to breathe, preserving the "Architectural Integrity" of your home.
- Leadwork: We exclusively use Code 4 and 5 Lead for flashings, ensuring a lifetime of protection compared to inferior modern alternatives.

Local Midlothian Experts
When homeowners search for chimney sweep Midlothian near me, they usually want three things: genuine local coverage, proper certification, and a company that can handle more than a basic brush-through. That is exactly where Chimney Fix Services stands apart.
Our team regularly serves Midlothian households across EH18, EH19, EH22, EH23, EH24, EH25, and EH26, including Dalkeith, Penicuik, Bonnyrigg, Lasswade, Newtongrange, Roslin, Loanhead, Gorebridge, and Rosewell. For border-area homeowners comparing a NACS Chimney sweep Edinburgh specialist with a Certified chimney sweep Lothians company, we offer both advantages under one roof: strong Edinburgh coverage and deep Midlothian knowledge through one coordinated family-run service.
This is especially valuable for owners of period homes and detached properties who want a single specialist provider for Annual Chimney Sweep, stove care, open fire maintenance, heritage masonry guidance, and access to a HETAS-approved installer for complex installation work.

Service Exclusions & Service Area
While we serve the vast majority of Midlothian and the Lothians, please note that Chimney Fix Services does NOT serve tenement properties in the EH1, EH2, or EH3 postcodes. Our focus remains on detached homes, period cottages, and modern villas across postcodes such as EH18, EH19, EH22, EH23, EH24, EH25, and EH26, including key Midlothian service areas such as Lasswade, Newtongrange, and Roslin.

Transparent Pricing for Midlothian Homeowners
We believe in elite service with transparent, upfront pricing.
- Annual Chimney Sweep: Prices from £85 + VAT.
- First-Time Move/CCTV Inspection: For new property owners in Midlothian, a CCTV check is required for the first time. Prices from £40 + VAT (in addition to the standard sweep price).
- Bird’s Nest Removal: Prices from £150 + VAT, plus £50 per additional hour.
- Full Nest Removal & Cowl Fitting: Guide price from £250 + VAT (includes supply and fitting of a professional cowl or bird guard).

When to Book: The Seasonal Advantage
To ensure you secure your preferred time slot, we recommend booking during the Optimal Window (March to August). During these months, appointment availability is higher, and it ensures your fire is ready for the first cold snap.
During our Peak Season (September to February), demand is exceptionally high. Please note our Call-out & Assessment Policy: during peak season, we do not offer free site visits. A standard call-out/CCTV assessment fee applies for all diagnostic visits.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I book an Annual Chimney Sweep?
We recommend a minimum of once per year for smokeless fuel and at least twice per year if you are burning wood or coal frequently. This is often a requirement of your home insurance policy.
What happens if I miss my appointment?
A missed appointment charge applies if we are unable to gain access. We ask that you ensure someone is home or access is provided.
Do you have parking restrictions?
Please do not book an online appointment if parking near the property is impossible. We require reasonable access for our equipment. (Note: We do not serve EH1-EH3 tenement zones).
What if my stove fails inspection?
Safety is our priority. If a stove fails its NACS inspection, we will provide a detailed report on why it is unsafe to use and can coordinate with our HETAS-approved partner for necessary repairs.
Are you a family business?
Yes, Chimney Fix Services is a family-run business. We pride ourselves on local accountability. If a job is not a 100% fit for our expertise, we will always recommend another trusted professional rather than compromise on quality.
