PROFESSIONAL SERVICES
CHIMNEY SWEEPING
I use modern, power sweeping equipment as well as traditional brushes to clean all types of flue, from open fireplaces to multi-fuel stoves and boilers. I carry a range of brush types and sizes to suit every chimney and flue liner and have the training and professional knowledge to ensure a clean and efficient service.
CCTV AND DRONE INSPECTION
CCTV inspections are carried out where deemed necessary as part of the basic sweep. Photos of any defects can be particularly useful when communicating with other trades people if work needs to be carried out. I can also offer a drone inspection of the chimney stack and pots if required.
THATCH ADVICE
Meon Valley Chimney Sweep can be found in the Thatch Directory at the Thatch Advice Centre. Owning a thatched property means taking great care of your chimney. I have the knowledge and understanding required to give sound advice and help you to maintain a safe working fireplace in your thatched home.

KATIE FOSTER
Owner
I completed my training and began sweeping chimneys in the Autumn of 2018. I feel lucky to be able to visit so many beautiful properties in the Hampshire countryside and towns and I've met so many interesting people through my work.
In an as-yet unregulated industry, I am proud to be a qualified sweep, ensuring I always try to provide my customers with the most accurate information and best service possible, asking more experienced fellow-sweeps for advice when I need to. As well as completing my NVQ, I have also worked alongside other professional chimney sweeps and stove installers, and completed specialist training courses on various aspects of chimney sweeping.
When not sweeping chimneys or reading about chimneys, I love going out on my bike, building Lego, going to the pub with friends, and watching my favourite bands.
