Admiralty Chimney Services Pricing
Our Prices
All prices listed are approximations.
When you contact our office, we’ll provide a price range based on the fair market value of the services we offer.
A healthy chimney is a safe chimney for you and your family. Our technicians are trained and qualified to Safety Institute of America standards, ensuring every inspection and service is performed with safety as the top priority. While we’re happy to provide general pricing guidance over the phone, final pricing is determined on-site by your technician after a full evaluation.
In some cases, the scope of work—and therefore the price—may change based on conditions that can only be identified during the inspection, including:
-
Obstacles that create additional labor
-
Excessive creosote buildup
-
Cracked clay flue tiles that make cleaning unsafe
-
Dead animals, nests, or excessive debris inside the chimney
All prices are per chimney, per fireplace, per wood stove, per flue, or per appliance. Your technician will explain any findings and confirm the final cost based on the work required.
We are proud to hold an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, reflecting our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.
We also welcome feedback through Angie’s List, where customers help us evaluate and improve our work and service. If you live in Southern New Hampshire or Northern Massachusetts, ask around… many of our new customers come to us through referrals from satisfied clients throughout the Merrimack Valley.
Pricing of Inspections With Cleanings
All cleaning prices include the inspection fee.
Every cleaning appointment begins with a full inspection. For your safety—and the safety of our technicians—we do not perform cleanings without first inspecting the chimney or appliance.
If the chimney is deemed safe to clean, the technician will provide a cleaning quote on-site.
Pricing is based on each fireplace, flue, or appliance, and depends on the complexity of the cleaning, chimney configuration, and whether the chimney is lined.
Inspections Without Cleanings
Three Levels*
Non-Masonry Chimneys — Starting at $85
No ladder required
Level 1 inspections are typically recommended for systems that remain unchanged and in continued use under the same conditions. This inspection is most common for condos with fireplace inserts or chase box chimneys, where no modifications are planned.
During a Level 1 inspection, your technician will examine the readily accessible portions of the appliance, chimney connection, and the interior and exterior of the chimney.
Condo Associations:
If your association can schedule inspections for 10 or more units in one day, we offer a discounted group rate.Masonry, Cinder Block, & Stone Chimneys — $150–$300
This is the most common inspection level and is required whenever changes are made to the chimney system or when a property is being bought or sold.
A Level 2 inspection is required if:
-
The fuel type has changed
-
The flue shape or material has been altered (including relining)
-
A new or different appliance has been added or replaced
-
There has been an operational malfunction or external event
External events include building fires, chimney fires, seismic activity, or severe weather.
Level 2 inspections include everything covered in a Level 1 inspection, plus a more in-depth evaluation of accessible areas such as attics, crawl spaces, basements, and chimney exteriors. The inspection also confirms proper clearances from combustible materials where accessible.
This level includes a video inspection or similar visual scanning to examine internal flue surfaces and joints. No demolition or removal of permanently attached structures is required.
If hidden hazards are suspected and cannot be fully evaluated with standard access, a Level 3 inspection may be recommended.
-
Masonry, Cinder Block, & Stone Chimneys — Starting at $500
A Level 3 inspection is the most comprehensive and invasive inspection available. It is typically recommended when a Level 1 or Level 2 inspection reveals concerns about hidden hazards or when investigating damage caused by a significant incident.
This inspection may require the removal of chimney components—such as the chimney crown or interior masonry—to access concealed areas.
Key aspects of a Level 3 inspection include:
-
Evaluation of concealed fire hazards or out-of-code installations
-
Removal of select chimney or surrounding structural components
-
Detailed assessment of concealed portions of the chimney and flue
-
Thorough documentation of the chimney’s overall condition
Due to its invasive nature and the potential need for post-inspection repairs, Level 3 inspections are typically the most expensive.
-
Starting at $150
Inspections for the purchase or sale of a property should include:
-
All accessible portions of the chimney interior and exterior
-
Areas within accessible attics, crawl spaces, and basements
-
Accessible portions of the appliance and chimney connection
-
All enclosed flues
Property sale inspections include a video inspection or equivalent visual assessment.
-
Starting at $300–$500
Video inspections allow technicians to document what is visible inside the chimney or flue using specialized camera equipment. A recording is provided showing exactly what the technician observes during the inspection.
