Chimney Sweeping Specialists

Richmond includes terrace homes, apartments, retail properties and busy commercial premises with varied access and maintenance requirements.

Alternative Line Solutions provides chimney sweeping throughout Richmond and nearby suburbs to remove accessible soot and combustion deposits from suitable chimney passages. Build-up can narrow the passage and contribute to poor draw or debris falling into the fireplace. We assess the chimney’s condition and access before choosing an appropriate cleaning method.

We protect the work area, sweep accessible passages and clear the resulting debris. Chimney inspections can identify visible damage or restrictions that cleaning alone will not resolve. We explain the findings and any follow-up required. If smoke continues to enter the room, a smoke and airflow assessment can investigate other contributing conditions.
