Your Local Chimney Sweep in Forest Row
Happy Chimney Sweep is based in Forest Row, on Hartfield Road. Grant started the business here in December 2016, so a Forest Row booking isn't a long drive for us. It's our own village.
Our Forest Row route
Forest Row has its own regular days in our diary. That route covers Forest Row village, Ashurst Wood, Wych Cross and Brambletye, so you're booked in alongside your neighbours instead of being squeezed between jobs 30 miles away.
If you're just outside the village, in Hartfield, Colemans Hatch or East Grinstead, those areas have their own route days too. Send your postcode and we'll tell you the soonest date.
What we do in Forest Row
- Annual sweeps for wood burners, multi-fuel stoves and open fireplaces
- Bird nest removal, followed by a bird guard so the nest doesn't come back
- CCTV flue checks when smoke, smells or poor draw keep coming back
- Cowls, rain caps and anti-downdraught caps, matched to your pot and appliance
- Sweep certificates for your records or your home insurer
- HETAS-registered stove and liner installations
Jackdaws and the Ashdown Forest
Forest Row sits on the edge of the Ashdown Forest, and jackdaws love an open chimney pot. They nest in pots here every spring, and a nest can block a flue completely. That pushes smoke, and potentially carbon monoxide, back into the room.
If you hear birds in the chimney, see twigs in the grate or notice a strong smell, don't light the fire. Active nests are protected by law, so we remove them legally and at the right time, sweep the flue, and fit a guard so it's less likely to happen again.
What it costs
Forest Row is a local area, so a stove sweep is £60* and an open fireplace sweep is £70*. No VAT payable. Discounts are available for multiple sweeps on the same day. Anything extra, such as nest removal, a cowl or a CCTV survey, is quoted before we start.
What a sweep from us looks like
We don't just push a brush up and leave. Here's how one customer a few miles up the road described it:
“In 7 years I have never had such a thorough chimney sweep. He checked the moisture content in our log pile, checked the draw of the chimney after sweeping and cleaned the glass of our woodburner. These things have never been done by previous sweeps. He was also extremely clean and tidy.”
