Forster Chimney Cleaner
A dirty chimney isn’t just messy—it can be dangerous. Soot buildup, leaves, and nesting debris can block airflow, cause smoke issues, and increase the risk of chimney fires. At Bradley Roofing, we provide thorough chimney cleaning to help keep your fireplace or flue working safely and efficiently. Whether you use your chimney often or just during winter, a clean flue ensures smoke escapes properly and reduces hazards inside your home. We’re based in Forster and offer friendly, no-fuss service that gives you peace of mind.
Our team will carefully remove soot, creosote, and blockages to restore proper airflow. We also check for signs of damage or wear that could affect safety or performance. If your chimney hasn’t been cleaned in over a year, or if you’ve noticed smoke blowing back inside, it’s time to book in. Call 0403 196 074 today to organise a professional chimney clean with Bradley Roofing. Our service areas include Tuncurry, Taree, Wingham, Old Bar, Harrington, Nabiac, Black Head, Green Point, and Diamond Beach.

REDUCE FIRE RISKS
Protect Your Home
Chimney cleaning is one of those jobs that’s easy to forget—but incredibly important. Over time, smoke leaves behind creosote, a flammable substance that can ignite and lead to a chimney fire. Even if you don’t use your chimney regularly, it can still collect dust, birds’ nests, and plant debris, especially during storm season. Our team uses simple, effective methods to clean out the flue and make sure everything’s in working order, without mess or disruption to your home.
A clean chimney not only protects your home—it also improves heating efficiency and airflow. We recommend yearly cleaning for households that use their fireplaces regularly, and inspections for anyone unsure of their chimney’s condition. It’s one of the easiest ways to improve safety, especially during cooler months. For professional service and clear advice, give us a ring and we’ll take care of the rest.
FAQ
Everything You Need To Know
How often should a chimney be cleaned?
For homes that use their fireplace regularly, chimneys should be cleaned at least once a year—ideally before winter starts. If you use your fireplace only occasionally, a cleaning every two years may be sufficient. However, it's best to schedule an inspection yearly to check for blockages, animal nests, or early signs of creosote buildup.
What happens if I don’t clean my chimney?
Skipping chimney cleaning increases the risk of chimney fires caused by creosote buildup. It can also lead to poor ventilation, smoke blowback, carbon monoxide build-up, and reduced heating efficiency. Even unused chimneys can collect leaves or bird nests that block airflow. Regular cleaning is key to preventing safety issues and expensive damage.
How long does a chimney clean take?
Most chimney cleans take around 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the amount of buildup and ease of access. If the chimney hasn’t been maintained in years or there are structural issues, it may take longer. A professional will also take time to check for signs of cracks, leaks, or damage during the clean.
Can I clean my chimney myself?
While there are DIY chimney cleaning tools available, a thorough and safe clean is best left to a professional. Proper equipment and experience are needed to reach all areas, remove tough creosote, and check for damage. DIY jobs often miss key areas, which can leave hazards behind or cause damage if not done correctly.
