CCTV Chimney Surveys

Diagnosing a chimney problem used to mean knocking a hole in the chimney breast, working through a messy and limited access point, and hoping you'd find the cause. There was no guarantee.

Now we put a camera in the flue and see exactly what's going on. SweepSmart uses the Wöhler Vis400 to carry out CCTV chimney surveys across London, Hertfordshire and Essex. It gives us high-quality colour footage with 360-degree rotation, so we can inspect every inch of the chimney from inside, identify problems, photograph them, and talk you through what needs doing. No holes in your wall. No guesswork.

You're reinstating an old flue that hasn't been used. You're having the chimney relined and need to confirm the liner will pass through. You're planning a loft conversion and need to check for potential chimney issues. You need the chimney checked before and after party wall works.

Before the camera goes in, we sweep the chimney so the footage is clear and nothing is hidden behind debris.

We start recording from the top of the chimney and work down, stopping at regular intervals to make sure we don't miss anything. If we find a problem, we stop, take multiple images, and continue. The camera is small and compact. It won't cause any damage to the flue.

Once we're done, we'll show you the footage on site and talk you through anything we've found. We'll explain what the issues are, what they mean, and what the options are for fixing them.

This can be a lot to take in at once, so we leave you with the full footage and a detailed report. You can take your time, consider your options, and come back to us when you're ready. No pressure, no obligation.
