About chimney sweep in Worthing
Worthing is a medium town of around 111,000 in West Sussex. The housing is mostly period cottages, Edwardian villas and 1930s semi-detached housing alongside newer commuter developments. That matters: older properties usually mean more pipework, rewiring and retrofit surprises, while newer builds in districts like BN11, BN13, BN14 tend to be quicker jobs with standardised fittings.

Heating is a regulated trade. Gas Safe for anything gas, OFTEC for oil, HETAS for wood burners and stoves, MCS for heat pumps. The bulk of the price is the engineer's time, roughly £300 to £500 a day in 2025, plus the appliance. A summer quote on the same job is usually 10 to 15 percent less than a winter emergency one, so don't leave an ageing boiler until October.
