Heritage Chimney Specialist Bath

Chimney Sweeping & Inspections for Georgian, Victorian & Listed Buildings

Bath’s historic homes need chimney care that respects their age, architecture and character. Swept Away Bath specialises in chimney sweeping, inspections and stove servicing for Georgian, Victorian and listed properties, using methods suited to older flues, Bath stone fireplaces and conservation‑area requirements.

Why Heritage Chimneys Need Specialist Care

Many Bath chimneys were built:

  • in the 1700s and 1800s
  • with Bath stone and lime mortar
  • with narrow, hand‑cut flue passages
  • under listed‑building restrictions

These flues behave differently from modern systems. They require a sweep who understands historic construction, fragile materials and the quirks of centuries‑old fireplaces.
