Your chimney’s
in good company.
Patrick’s story began with a chimney sweep in his own home — and the conviction that the job could be done with more care.
That curiosity grew into a career in chimney sweeping, inspection and education. His published story includes training in the United States and a longstanding interest in helping homeowners understand their chimneys.

Monday–Saturday, 8am–6pmA few things
you might wonder.
01How often should I have my chimney swept?
Irish carbon monoxide guidance recommends an annual chimney sweep. Your appliance, fuel and frequency of use may mean more frequent maintenance is appropriate. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions and ask Patrick for advice for your installation.
02Do you sweep both open fires and stoves?
The existing service covers solid-fuel open fireplaces and stoves. Tell Patrick which appliance you have, and its make and model if available, when arranging an appointment.
03Will sweeping make a mess in my home?
Patrick’s service describes sealing the fireplace or stove opening and protecting the work area to contain soot and debris. Clear nearby access and allow the appliance to cool before the visit.
04When would I need a CCTV inspection?
A camera inspection may help after a chimney fire, before reopening a disused flue, when changing an appliance, or when investigating damage or a suspected blockage. Patrick can advise on the appropriate scope.
