Chimneys Near You

Looking for help with chimneys? Best Home Partner is a matching service. Tell us what the project involves and we pass your request to up to 4 independent businesses that do chimneys work and list your area. Those businesses contact you directly, and any agreement is between you and them. We do not carry out chimneys work ourselves.

Typical chimneys work

• Level 1 and 2 inspections with camera scan of the flue
• Sweeping, creosote removal and cap / crown replacement
• Relining, tuckpointing and full rebuild above the roofline

When to get it looked at

Before every burning season, after a chimney fire, or when buying a home with a fireplace. Problems of this kind often get worse, and more expensive to fix, when they are left.

What drives the cost

We don't publish prices, because a job can't be priced properly without someone seeing it. The total usually depends on the scope of work, the materials chosen, how easy the site is to work on, the condition of what is already there, and local labour rates. This work is usually priced per project. Our Chimneys guide explains each factor and how to compare quotes.

Choosing who to hire

• Confirm the licence number with your state licensing board where one is required.
• Ask for a current certificate of insurance.
• Get the scope in writing — materials, quantities, timeline and what happens if conditions change.
• Compare more than one quote before deciding.
• Be cautious of anyone asking for full payment before work begins.

A warning sign to watch for

Ask for the camera footage. "You need a full reline" without visual evidence is the classic chimney upsell.
