About Washington

Chimneys in Washington.

Washington is the North East's new town — built in the 1960s and 70s around a cluster of older villages. The housing stock is younger than most of Tyneside, but with significant pockets of pre-war and Victorian properties in the village cores at Washington Village, Fatfield and Usworth.

Most of Washington's housing was built in an era when central gas heating was standard and chimneys were either decorative or omitted entirely. Where chimneys exist, they're typically shorter, lined flues in modern semis — usually straightforward, well-engineered, and easy to sweep. The exception is the older village cores: Washington Village around Washington Old Hall has period properties with original flues, as do parts of Fatfield, and these need the same care as the older Tyneside housing.

Why us, locally

The Washington sweep you'd actually call.

We work both ends of Washington — modern installs in Concord, Sulgrave and Albany where the work is fast and straightforward, and the older period housing around Washington Village and Fatfield where the visit is closer to a Tynemouth or Durham job.

Every Washington 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.

Washington FAQs

What people in Washington ask.

Many don't — central heating was standard when most of the housing was built. But if you have a working fireplace or wood-burner, the flue still needs the same annual care. Modern lined flues are quicker to sweep but the certificate matters just as much for insurance.
Washington Village, Fatfield and Usworth have small clusters of pre-war and Victorian housing with original-era chimneys. These need standard period-property care — full sweep, smoke test, and CCTV verification where the flue's condition isn't visibly clear.
Yes — NE37 covers the southern half (Concord, Washington Village, Albany) and NE38 covers the northern half (Sulgrave, Donwell, Birtley South). Standard scheduling.
