Helping You Breathe Easier & Stay Safer

Neat Sweeps is a trusted chimney sweeping and solid fuel stove service based in the Test Valley. With years of experience, we take pride in offering professional chimney care to keep your home warm and safe.

Our Journey

Having successfully completed my initial training at the National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS) training centre, I further developed my knowledge through additional training in camera inspections of flues, chimney surveys, and HETAS solid fuel stove installation & servicing courses. This extensive knowledge enables me to deliver high-quality service while prioritising customer safety.

More recently I have undertaken a Level 2 NVQ in chimney sweeping/engineering, registered with the Construction Industry Training Board. This qualification elevates chimney sweeping to a formally recognised industry wide trade status.

As our business has grown, my wife has joined in to manage all the admin and customer support, helping us build something truly great. We're excited to continue offering you the best service possible!

The Best of Both Worlds

We take pride in combining hands-on mechanical expertise with the ability to improve safety for homeowners. Being based in the Test Valley village, we have a deep understanding of thatched property chimneys and their specific insurance requirements. Although we clean all types of chimneys, we also have expertise in servicing those found in thatched properties, to help the home owner achieve the highest safety standards.

Promoting Safer Chimneys

Did you know that 90% of thatch fires are chimney-related? While thatched properties are no more likely to catch fire than other buildings, they are far harder to extinguish and can cause extensive damage if a fire does break out. Prevention is always the best approach.

Preventing the Worst

It’s crucial to assess the specific risks of your property and take the necessary steps to reduce them. If your home has an open fire or log burner, regular chimney sweeping is essential. Not only does this keep your home safer, but it also ensures you have the proper certification for insurance purposes.
