Book a Norwood chimney sweep with FreshDuct. The villas and cottages around The Parade still have their original open fireplaces — we sweep, camera and repair them properly.
Original open fireplace off The Parade? A sweep and safety check before winter is the cheap part.
Norwood was surveyed in the 1840s and built out solidly over the following ninety years, which is why its streets read as a near-continuous run of sandstone-fronted villas, bluestone cottages and Federation bungalows. Open fireplaces were standard in every one of them, and on the tight allotments typical of the suburb the chimney stacks sit close together and close to the boundary.
What we find on Norwood chimneys follows the age of the housing. The flues are almost always unlined, so creosote builds straight onto brick and stone. Lime mortar high on the stack has weathered out. Fireplaces in the front rooms were often bricked up or fitted with a gas insert decades ago and then reopened by a later owner, with nobody checking the flue above. And because the houses are so close together, a chimney fire in Norwood is not a private event.
FreshDuct sweeps, cameras and repairs these chimneys carefully. We work contained inside heritage rooms, identify shared and disused flues before anything is lit, and repoint and repair to match the original stonework. You get before and after photos and a straight answer about whether the fireplace is safe to use.
The things we look at first on a Norwood chimney — based on the local housing and conditions.
Norwood flues were built unlined, so creosote settles directly on brick and stone and mortar can be soft. We camera before advising, and we are honest about when a clean is enough and when a liner is the right call.
Front-room fireplaces here were commonly sealed or fitted with gas inserts, then reopened later. The flue above has often been untouched for fifty years. We check the full run before it is used.
Narrow Norwood allotments put stacks close to boundaries and to each other, and many frontages are heritage-controlled. We work safely at height and repoint to match the original sandstone and bluestone.

The most common Norwood job we take is a fireplace that has just been reopened, either during a renovation or by a new owner who wants it back. That flue has usually spent decades sealed, and what is in it — nests, fallen mortar, old parging, sometimes a previous gas flue — is not visible from the hearth.
We camera the full run to the termination, sweep it, and tell you plainly whether it is ready to use, needs repair, or is better kept as a feature. No guessing, no pressure.

Often yes, but only after the flue is checked. Sealed Norwood flues routinely contain nests, fallen mortar and old parging, and some were adapted for a gas insert at some point. We camera the full run to the top, then tell you honestly what it needs to be usable.
Not always. Plenty of Norwood flues are sound enough to use after a proper sweep. Where the brickwork has degraded, the flue is cracked, or you are installing a modern wood heater into an old stack, a liner is the correct answer — and we will show you the camera footage that led to that recommendation.
