Quick answer

What does a chimney sweep do, and how often do you need one?

A chimney sweep clears soot and creosote from the flue, checks the liner and cowl, and issues a certificate. Typical cost is £60–£150. Sweeping frequency depends on fuel, not season: smokeless fuel and gas once a year, wood and bitumous coal twice. Most home insurers will ask for a dated sweep certificate after a chimney fire, and a missing one can decide the claim.

Chimney Sweep workmanship in Llanelli

Chimney Sweep terms explained — Llanelli glossary

HETAS
The UK certification body for solid-fuel and biomass appliances, installers and sweeps. A HETAS-registered sweep can self-certify certain work under Building Regulations rather than putting it through the council.
Sweep Certificate(Certificate)
The dated record issued after a sweep, naming the flue swept and the standard reached. It is the document insurers ask for after a chimney fire, and the one landlords and holiday-let operators are expected to hold.
Approved Document J(Part J)
The Building Regulations chapter covering combustion appliances and flues — hearth dimensions, flue sizing, ventilation and the carbon-monoxide alarm requirement. It governs what may be installed, not how often it is swept.
Creosote
The tarry deposit left by burning unseasoned or resinous wood. It is the fuel in a chimney fire, and it builds fastest in a flue run cool and slow — which is why a smouldering overnight burn is worse for the chimney than a hot one.
