# River Chimney Sweep

River Chimney Sweep is a family-run chimney maintenance business based in Dover, Kent, serving South East England including Folkestone, Ashford, Canterbury, Faversham, Margate, Ramsgate, Deal and surrounding areas.

The company specialises in chimney sweeping, unblocking and related maintenance for homeowners and property owners across the region.

Their expertise extends beyond basic sweeping to encompass chimney repointing, stove servicing and repairs, chimney pot replacement and bird cowl installation.

What sets River Chimney Sweep apart is their commitment to professional standards and customer assurance.

The business prioritises minimal disruption during work and offers free inspections for problem chimneys. They are fully insured for working at heights, enabling safe chimney pot and cowl replacement. Additionally, they provide specialist services such as fire brick replacement, rope seal repairs and bird nest removal. This comprehensive approach means customers can address multiple chimney and stove-related issues through a single trusted local provider.
