Perth’s trusted chimney sweepers — removing soot, creosote, and blockages so your fireplace burns safely all winter long. Certified technicians, same-week bookings, 100% satisfaction guaranteed.
Perth winters may be mild compared to the east coast, but thousands of Perth homes still rely on wood-burning fireplaces and gas heaters during the cooler months — and every one of those chimneys needs regular cleaning to stay safe.
When a chimney isn’t cleaned regularly, creosote — a tar-like byproduct of burning wood — builds up on the inner walls. This substance is highly flammable and is the leading cause of chimney fires in Australian homes. Beyond fire risk, blocked flues trap carbon monoxide inside your home, putting your family’s health at serious risk.
At Air Cool Care, our certified chimney sweep technicians inspect, clean, and clear chimneys right across Perth — from Dianella and Morley to Claremont, Subiaco, Mount Lawley, and beyond. Whether it’s a brick chimney, a metal flue, or a gas fireplace vent, we handle it all.
Chimney Cleaning Excellence
Our chimney sweeping and cleaning service in Perth is thorough from top to bottom. Here’s exactly what we do:
Step 1 — Initial Chimney Inspection
Before we clean, our technician visually inspects your chimney inside and out. We check for cracks, blockages, animal nests, water damage, and creosote buildup levels.
Step 2 — Setting Up Dust Protection
We lay drop cloths and seal off your fireplace opening before any cleaning begins. Your home stays spotless — we don’t leave ash or soot behind.
Step 3 — Chimney Sweeping
Using professional rotary brushes and HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment, we scrub and sweep the entire flue from the firebox up to the chimney cap. All soot and creosote deposits are removed and safely contained.
Step 4 — Blockage & Debris Removal
We clear out any leaves, twigs, animal nests, or built-up debris that may be restricting airflow in your chimney.
Step 5 — Final Inspection & Report
Once clean, we do a final check and give you a clear report on your chimney’s condition — including any repairs we recommend and whether your chimney is safe to use.
The general recommendation from fire safety authorities is at least once per year, ideally before the start of winter (April–May in Perth). However, how often you use your fireplace also matters:
| Usage Level | Recommended Frequency |
|---|---|
| Light use (occasional fires) | Once per year |
| Regular use (1–3 fires per week) | Once per year minimum |
| Heavy use (daily fires) | Twice per year |
| Gas fireplace / flue | Every 2 years, or as recommended |
If you burn unseasoned (wet) wood, you’ll need more frequent cleaning — green wood produces far more creosote than dry, seasoned firewood.
Don’t wait for a chimney fire to know your flue is overdue for a clean. Watch out for these warning signs:
If you notice any of these, call Air Cool Care — we’ll get a technician out to you, often within the same week.
Creosote is the #1 cause of chimney fires. Our chimney sweep service removes this dangerous buildup, dramatically lowering your fire risk.
A clean flue draws better. Your fire lights faster, burns hotter, and produces less smoke — meaning more warmth with less wood.
Blocked or dirty chimneys push smoke and carbon monoxide back into your living space. After a professional clean, your fireplace vents correctly, keeping your indoor air clean and safe.
Catching minor issues early — small cracks, deteriorating mortar, minor blockages — prevents them from becoming expensive chimney repairs down the track.
A well-maintained chimney is an asset. Letting it deteriorate can cause water ingress, structural damage, and costly remediation work.

Q: How much does chimney sweeping cost in Perth?
The cost of chimney sweeping in Perth typically depends on the size of your chimney, how accessible it is, and how much buildup is present. Call us on 0865 588 818 for an accurate quote — we offer honest, upfront pricing with no surprises.
Q: How long does a chimney sweep take?
A standard chimney sweep and clean takes approximately 1 to 2 hours for a single flue. If we find significant buildup or blockages, it may take slightly longer.
Q: Is chimney sweeping messy?
Not with Air Cool Care. We use professional HEPA-filtered vacuum equipment and lay full dust protection before we start. Your home stays clean throughout the process.
Q: Can I use my fireplace straight after a chimney sweep?
Yes — once our technician gives your chimney the all-clear, you’re good to light a fire the same day.
Q: Do I need to clean a gas fireplace flue?
Yes. Gas fireplaces produce moisture and combustion byproducts that can accumulate in the flue. We recommend a gas flue inspection and clean every two years as a minimum.
Q: What is creosote and why is it dangerous?
Creosote is a dark, tar-like substance that forms when wood smoke cools inside the flue. It coats the inner walls of your chimney and is highly flammable. Heavy creosote buildup is the leading cause of chimney fires. Regular sweeping removes it before it becomes a hazard.
Q: My chimney smells — does it need cleaning?
A persistent smoky smell, especially during warm weather, is usually a sign of creosote buildup or a blockage. Book a chimney inspection and clean to find and fix the cause.
Q: Do you service gas log fires and wood heaters?
Yes — we service wood-burning fireplaces, open fires, slow combustion heaters, wood heaters, and gas flues across Perth.
