Professional Chimney Services in EH22
Mayfield’s housing stock features a diverse mix of mid-20th-century family homes and newer developments. Many of these properties rely on solid fuel heating, which requires specialized attention to maintain efficiency. We do not provide basic "brush and go" services; we offer technical assessments and precision cleaning that protect your flue and your home.
Annual Chimney Sweep Mayfield Midlothian
The Annual Chimney Sweep is the cornerstone of home safety. Our NACS-certified sweeps utilize advanced power-sweeping technology and traditional brush methods to remove soot, creosote, and obstructions. This service ensures your fireplace operates at peak efficiency while significantly reducing the risk of chimney fires.
Log / Wood Burner Servicing
Modern high-end stoves from brands like Charnwood, Aga, and Clearview are precision instruments. In Mayfield, where wood burners are a popular choice for sustainable heating, regular servicing is vital. We inspect rope seals, firebricks, and glass to ensure your appliance remains an asset rather than a liability.
Multi-Fuel Stove Care
Multi-fuel stoves require specific maintenance routines due to the different residues left by various fuels. Our technicians are trained to identify signs of corrosion or liner fatigue early, preventing costly repairs further down the line.
Open Fire Maintenance
For those who enjoy the traditional aesthetic of an open hearth, we provide expert maintenance that respects the original masonry. We specialize in the preservation of sandstone chimney stacks and utilize traditional lime mortar for all repointing work. We explicitly avoid the use of cement, which can cause irreparable damage to historic stonework.
Why Choose Chimney Fix Services?
As a family-run business, we understand the importance of trust when inviting a tradesperson into your home. Our approach is defined by our commitment to Heritage Craftsmanship. We view your chimney as a vital structural component of your property.
The NACS Standard & Certification
Chimney Fix Services is strictly NACS (National Association of Chimney Sweeps) certified. This is the gold standard in the UK. Every sweep we perform concludes with the issuance of an official NACS Certificate. This document is essential for your home insurance and serves as a record of professional maintenance.
Our Partnership for Installations
While we handle all sweeping and maintenance internally, we recognize that complex installations require specific hardware expertise. Chimney Fix Services works exclusively with a HETAS-approved installer for all stove installations and hardware upgrades. This partnership allows us to offer a seamless service, from initial sweeping to full installation, ensuring every aspect of your heating system meets current building regulations without you needing to manage multiple contractors.
Specialist Masonry & Chimney Repairs
Our expertise extends beyond the flue. As a division of Roof Fix Services Limited, we have the technical capability to handle complex chimney repairs in Midlothian. We use high-quality Code 4 and 5 Lead for flashings, offering a durable and superior alternative to inferior products like flashband or bitu-mastic.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How often should I have my chimney swept in Mayfield?
To comply with NACS standards and most home insurance policies, an Annual Chimney Sweep is the minimum requirement for all solid fuel appliances.
Do you serve tenement properties in Edinburgh?
Chimney Fix Services specializes in period properties and detached homes. We do not serve tenement properties located within the EH1, EH2, or EH3 postcodes.
What happens if you can't find parking?
We advise all customers not to book an online appointment if parking near the property is impossible. If we cannot attend due to parking restrictions, a missed appointment charge may apply.
What is a "Failed Inspection"?
If our NACS-certified sweep identifies a safety critical fault (such as a cracked liner or carbon monoxide risk), we are duty-bound to issue a "Warning Notice" and may advise against using the appliance until a HETAS-approved partner can rectify the hardware issue.
Can you remove a birds' nest at any time?
We specialize in bird nest removal, but please be aware that work cannot be carried out if there are active nesting birds (typically March to August) to comply with wildlife protection laws, unless the nest is causing a direct safety hazard.
