The Gold Standard: Why an Annual Chimney Sweep is Essential
For residents of Bruntsfield, the Annual Chimney Sweep is the most critical maintenance task for any home with an active fireplace or stove. The historic nature of EH10 properties, ranging from high-ceilinged Victorian residences to Edwardian family homes, means that flues are often complex and require expert navigation.
An annual sweep is not merely about soot removal; it is a comprehensive safety inspection. As a NACS (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) certified company, we adhere to the highest industry standards. Every service we perform concludes with the issuance of an official NACS Certificate, a vital document for home insurance compliance and your peace of mind.

Heritage Craftsmanship for EH10 Properties
Bruntsfield is renowned for its stunning sandstone architecture. However, these traditional materials require specialized knowledge to maintain. Unlike general contractors who may use modern cement, we understand that cement is the enemy of sandstone.
Our masonry specialists use only traditional lime mortar pointing for chimney stack repairs. Lime mortar allows the stone to "breathe," preventing the moisture trap and eventual crumbling associated with cement. When it comes to leadwork, we strictly utilize Code 4 or Code 5 lead for flashings, providing a durable, heritage-appropriate seal that far outlasts cheap alternatives like bitu-mastic or flashband.
Professional Partnerships & The "Under One Roof" Model
While Chimney Fix Services is the specialist in sweeping and heritage maintenance, we recognize that some jobs require specific hardware installation expertise. To offer our clients a complete service, we work exclusively with a HETAS-approved installer for all new stove installations and complex hardware work.
This partnership allows us to manage your project from the initial chimney inspection to the final certification of a new wood-burning stove, ensuring that all work meets both NACS and HETAS standards without you needing to coordinate multiple contractors.
Transparent Pricing for Bruntsfield Residents

Optimal Booking Window: Don’t Wait for Winter
To ensure you get your preferred appointment time, we strongly recommend booking your Annual Chimney Sweep between March and August. This is our "off-peak" season, offering much greater flexibility in our diary.
From September to February, we enter our Peak Season. During this time, demand is exceptionally high. Please note our Call-out & Assessment Policy: during peak months, we do not offer free site visits. Instead, a standard call-out/CCTV assessment fee applies for all diagnostic visits.
