# South Downs Sweeps
South Downs Sweeps is a professional chimney sweep service operating in Lewes and the surrounding East Sussex area, covering locations from Uckfield to Brighton. Run by Rob Mortimer, a locally-based, fully trained and certificated sweep, the business specialises in maintaining and cleaning all types of flues including solid fuel, gas and oil systems.
What distinguishes South Downs Sweeps is Rob's dual qualifications as both an Association of Professional Chimney Sweeps member and a Hetas registered sweep and installer. This means clients receive not only thorough chimney cleaning but also maintenance and servicing of wood burners and multi-fuel appliances to the highest industry standards. The business takes a meticulous approach, evident in their reputation for completely clearing flues—hence their playful reference to being "known as the Rooks."
Beyond basic sweeping, South Downs Sweeps offers comprehensive solutions including CCTV flue inspection for diagnostics and insurance claims, professional draught testing with expert advice, and protective measures such as bird guards and cowls to prevent animal ingress and weather damage. Nest removal is also available. Rob's friendly, clean and diligent approach, combined with full insurance cover, provides peace of mind for domestic customers.
The business caters to homeowners relying on solid fuel heating throughout the Lewes district and beyond, offering a personal service from someone deeply embedded in the local community.
