Carbon Clearing

Carbon Clearing is a Guild-certified chimney sweeping business based in Botley, serving Southampton and the surrounding Hampshire area. It cleans chimneys and flues for wood-burning stoves, log burners, multi-fuel appliances and open fires, with inspections of the appliance and flue included as part of a standard sweep.

For flues that need a closer look, the business offers CCTV inspections to help identify blockages, damage and other defects. Its specialist work also includes bird nest removal, chimney cowl and cap fitting, and stove maintenance such as replacing worn rope seals, gaskets, firebricks and baffles. A smoke draw test and digital sweeping certificate are among the stated parts of its sweep service.

The business describes its approach as careful and tidy, using protective coverings and modern equipment to minimise mess in customers’ homes. Findings are explained clearly, with practical advice and recommendations where needed. Carbon Clearing says its work follows Guild guidance and that it is fully insured.

Homeowners with a stove, open fire or other solid-fuel appliance can ask about routine sweeping, inspections or maintenance. The business also serves customers across nearby towns and villages, including Hedge End, Eastleigh, Wickham and Bishop’s Waltham.
