Common questions
Do you need a permit for chimney cleaning in Newmarket?
Cleaning and inspection are permit-exempt in Newmarket. Structural masonry, liner replacement, or a new appliance install typically need one — we pull it as part of the job when required.
How much does chimney cleaning cost in Newmarket?
Most Newmarket jobs land between $191 and $305. Complex access or heritage masonry can reach $496. We quote fixed price after a free on-site scope.
How long does chimney cleaning take in Newmarket?
60–90 min is typical for a straightforward job. Bookings in dense downtown zones add 15–20 minutes for parking and staging.
Are you WETT and WSIB certified?
Yes — WETT SITE-Comprehensive #C-46082, CSIA #12408, and active WSIB #7248194. Certificates emailed on request before the job.
What if it rains or snows on the booking day?
Roof-side work reschedules to the next dry window at no charge. Interior scopes (firebox, damper, appliance) proceed regardless.
When's the best time of year for chimney cleaning in Newmarket?
Late September through mid-November with Newmarket averaging 154cm of snow starting December. Spring (April–May) is the second window and often 10–15% cheaper.
What warranty do you offer on chimney cleaning in Newmarket?
Five-year written workmanship warranty on materials and labour, transferable to a new homeowner within that window. Manufacturer warranties on any installed products pass through separately.
Is chimney cleaning covered by home insurance in Newmarket?
Sudden damage (storm, animal, appliance failure) is usually covered minus deductible. Gradual wear generally isn't. A written pro assessment before the claim call materially improves outcomes.
