FAQ
Who sweeps the chimney?
We look for an independent local provider to assess the chimney and agree cleaning directly with you. Border Quotes handles referrals and does not sweep chimneys.
What information helps define the cleaning scope?
Share the fuel type, frequency of use, last cleaning and photos of accessible areas. The provider can review buildup and access before agreeing the scope.
Does cleaning include chimney repairs?
Describe damaged masonry, caps or liners separately. Ask the provider which assessment, cleaning and repair tasks are included in the proposed work.
Does a cleaning request confirm the fireplace can be used?
A referral does not assess the condition of the fireplace or chimney. Discuss its condition and any inspection needs directly with the provider before use.
