Chimney Sweep Covering Sunderland, Washington and Wearside
Why Choose NE Sweep?
As a HETAS-approved chimney sweep, I provide a thorough, mess-free service across Sunderland, Washington and the surrounding Wearside area.
I sweep log burners, multi-fuel stoves, open fires and gas fire flues using professional power-sweeping equipment. A HEPA rated hazardous-dust vacuum and air scrubber are used to control soot and dust, helping to keep your home clean throughout the appointment.
During the sweep, I also look for issues such as heavy soot or creosote deposits, fallen debris, bird nesting material and signs of poor airflow. A smoke draw test is carried out afterwards and a sweep certificate is provided on completion.
Regular sweeping helps reduce the risk of chimney fires, keeps the flue clear and can highlight problems before they become more costly.

Tip:🔥 Don’t run your stove low and slow all the time — it’s creosote city.
A lot of people think keeping the stove ticking over at a low burn saves fuel or keeps the room gently warm. But running it like that all the time leads to cooler flue temps, which means creosote builds up faster — especially if you’re burning wood.
Instead:
Give it a hot burn once a day — open the air vents and let it roar for 5 minutes.
This will help shift any lingering fumes and keep the system cleaner.
Especially important if you’re burning seasoned wood — it still gives off vapour that needs shifting.
It’s like clearing your throat after a cold — let it breathe or it'll choke up.
