About Gateshead

Chimneys in Gateshead.

South of the Tyne, Gateshead's housing runs from grand Victorian villas in Low Fell to dense terraces in Bensham and modern Quayside flats. The chimney profile shifts dramatically across a few hundred metres of road.

Low Fell and Saltwell have some of the finest late-Victorian villas in Tyneside — substantial properties with multiple flues per stack, often serving rooms that are no longer used as fireplaces. Disused flues collect debris over decades, attract jackdaw nests in autumn, and can leak smoke or carbon monoxide into the living rooms below when a different flue in the same stack is in use. Bensham, Felling and Dunston run smaller terraced flues; Whickham brings interwar semis with shorter, lined flues that are usually straightforward.

Why us, locally

The Gateshead sweep you'd actually call.

Gateshead is on our doorstep. From south of the Tyne Bridge through to Birtley and Whickham, we work these postcodes weekly and know which properties commonly have shared stacks, which streets have the trickier disused flues, and which need a CCTV check before a wood-burner install.

Every Gateshead visit ends with a NACS-certified safety certificate, emailed before we leave. That's the document your home insurer expects after any chimney-related claim — read why it matters.

Gateshead FAQs

What people in Gateshead ask.

Yes — we'll sweep each working flue, identify and assess each disused flue (capping recommendations where appropriate), and produce a certificate per appliance. For substantial properties we often recommend a CCTV inspection on first visit to map the stack properly.
Most modern flats have twin-wall flue systems rather than masonry chimneys. We sweep these, smoke-test them, and check the visible joints and termination. If your install is recent and you've not had it swept since, we'd recommend an annual visit as the manufacturer warranty often requires it.
Yes. NE9 (Low Fell, Wrekenton, Sheriff Hill), NE10 (Pelaw, Bill Quay), NE11 (Dunston, Team Valley) are all standard coverage. Birtley sits in DH3 so we cover that from our Chester-le-Street side as well.
