How they compare with the other picks
Short answer: A sweep and a WETT inspection are different jobs at different prices, and the one your insurer or your buyer's lawyer wants is the WETT inspection. Capital Chimney Sweep has operated since 1980 with both owners WETT-certified. Top Hat has been going since 1974 and pairs cleaning with a 16-point inspection and wood stove installation. The Chimney Doctor is an owner-operator since 1986 who specialises in diagnosing a fireplace that smokes or drafts badly — a diagnosis problem, not a cleaning one.
- Capital Chimney Sweep — Operating since 1980, with both owners WETT-certified technicians. Sweeping, WETT inspections for home sales, relining, caps and dampers.
- Top Hat Home Comfort Services — Since 1974. WETT-trained technicians, chimney cleaning with a 16-point inspection, liners, chase caps, masonry and wood stove installation.
A comparison of the three businesses this site would call first, on facts each publishes about itself — not a ranking of every chimney and WETT company serving K4M, and not a rating. "What sets them apart" is our opinion, formed from the criteria we publish. No business has paid for a place in this table, and payment would not change it. Confirm licence and insurance directly before you hire.
