Welcome to Jem Chimney Sweep, established in 1993 by Bob and Kay Moore. We are a professional and reliable Oxford Chimney Sweep who have been providing a friendly service now for over twenty years. Based in Oxfordshire itself, we cover all surrounding areas including Stadhampton, Wallingford, Abingdon and Deddington.
We sweep all types of chimneys including Traditional Fires, Woodburners, Jetmasters, Ingelnooks, Arga Flues, Rayburn and Boiler Flues, including removing birds nests. Our clients range from national trust properties, to listed buildings and even the odd houseboat. As a genuine sweep, Bob is also available to bring good luck to your wedding day as The Oxford Lucky Chimney Sweep adding a unique and historical traditional to your wedding day.
I sweep your chimney using the traditional method of brush and rods. This is still the best way to sweep a chimney as the brush can reach and remove soot deposits attached to the chimney flue. We follow this up with a powerful industrial vacuum to ensure a clean and efficient sweep.

Sweeps Guide
Report
It is recommended that your chimney is swept at least once a year to keep it in a safe working condition. Without regular sweeping, soot and tar can build up causing corrosion and unfortunately this can sometimes lead to chimney fires. Maintenance is necessary for your chimney to avoid damage to in the flue which can cause hazardous gasses to escape into the room.
Lucky Sweep
Report
As a young girl standing at a family wedding I watched man covered in soot kiss the bride, a lucky sweep I was told. I thought nothing more, until at a recent wedding, I observed a regally dressed gentleman in a top hat and frock coat, holding a chimney brush. He kissed the bride and clasped hands with the groom.
History of the Lucky Sweep
Report
The timeless classic Mary Poppins, immortalised the lucky sweep through Dick Van Dykes lyrics 'a sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be.' However the genesis of this luck was vague; a consistent belief is that a sweep grasped the reins of a panicking horse and saved its hapless rider from certain death.
