Reliable Chimney Cleaning Experts in Sydney

Sydney’s chimneys need sweeping at least once a year. Creosote builds up whether you use your fireplace daily or only on cold nights. Left unchecked, it restricts airflow, increases the risk of chimney fires, and can push carbon monoxide back into your home.

Eco Aircon & Chimney Cleaning provides professional chimney sweeping across Greater Sydney. Every sweep includes a full visual inspection, creosote and soot removal, and a signed compliance certificate suitable for home insurance.

We service wood-burning fireplaces, wood heaters, and open masonry chimneys. No mess. No soot on your carpet. Same-week availability for most suburbs.

What's Included in Our Chimney Sweep Service

Every Eco chimney sweep follows a structured process designed to leave your chimney safe and your home spotless.

1. Pre-Sweep Inspection

Before we touch a brush, we inspect the chimney from the firebox up. We check for cracks, blockages, signs of animal nesting, and structural damage. For detailed inspections, we use HD camera diagnostics to see inside the flue.

2. Full Protective Setup

We lay industrial drop sheets around the hearth and seal the firebox opening. Our vacuum system runs continuously during the sweep to capture soot and debris at the source. Nothing enters your living space.

3. Sweeping & Creosote Removal

Using rotary brushes matched to your flue size, we remove all soot, ash, and creosote from the flue lining. For heavy creosote buildup (Stage 2 or 3), we use specialist chemical treatments before mechanical sweeping.

4. Post-Sweep Inspection & Compliance Certificate

After sweeping, we re-inspect the flue to confirm it’s clear and structurally sound. You receive a signed compliance certificate documenting the condition of your chimney — suitable for home insurance records or pre-sale property reports.

How Often Should You Have Your Chimney Swept?

The Australian Standard recommends an annual chimney sweep for any wood-burning fireplace that’s used regularly. If you burn wood daily through winter, a mid-season check is also worth considering.

Wood heaters should be checked annually as well as swept, because a cracked flue or a failed door seal is not aren’t visible without proper inspection.

If you’ve just bought a property with a fireplace and don’t know when it was last swept, book an inspection before using it. A blocked or damaged flue can be dangerous from the very first fire.

How Much Does a Chimney Sweep Cost in Sydney?

A standard chimney sweep in Sydney typically start at $350, with the final price depending on the type of chimney, accessibility, and level of buildup. Multi-storey homes or chimneys with heavy creosote may cost more.

Warning Signs

Why a Dirty Chimney Is a Fire Risk

Creosote and soot build up every time you light a fire. Left untreated, it restricts airflow, causes smoke to back up into your home and significantly increases the risk of a chimney fire.

  • ! Creosote buildup is the leading cause of residential chimney fires
  • ! Blocked flues cause smoke and carbon monoxide to back up indoors
  • ! Soot stains and odours spread through your living space
  • ! Reduced airflow makes your fireplace inefficient and smoky
  • ! Undetected cracks or blockages can go unnoticed without inspection

Frequently Asked Questions

How often should a chimney be swept?

Once a year for a fireplace or wood heater used through winter, ideally before you light the first fire of the season. If you burn most nights, or you burn unseasoned wood, creosote builds faster and a mid-season sweep is worth booking.

What is creosote and why does it matter?

Creosote is the tarry residue left when wood smoke cools on the way up the flue. It is flammable. Once it builds into a thick layer, a hot fire or a stray ember can ignite it inside the chimney, which is how most chimney fires start.

Do you sweep from inside the house or from the roof?

Most sweeps are done from inside, at the fireplace opening, with rotary rods pushed up the flue. Roof access is used when the flue design calls for it and the roof can be worked on safely. We decide once we have seen the setup.

What should I do to prepare for the visit?

Let the fire go cold for at least 24 hours, clear ornaments and rugs from the hearth, and leave a clear path to the fireplace. We cover the surrounding floor and furniture ourselves before any work starts.

Do you sweep wood heater flues as well as open fireplaces?

Yes. We sweep open fireplaces, freestanding and inbuilt wood heaters, and their flues. The method changes with the appliance, and rotary brushing is used where a straight brush cannot follow the bends.

When is the best time of year to book a chimney sweep?

Late summer and autumn. The flue is dry, availability is easier than in the middle of winter, and any repair the inspection turns up can be sorted before you need the fire.
