Professional chimney cleaning that prevents house fires, cuts heating costs, and keeps your New Bedford family safe all winter long.
Hear from Our Customers
Here’s what happens when your chimney gets properly cleaned: Your fireplace draws smoke up and out instead of back into your room. Your heating system doesn’t work as hard, which means lower fuel bills. And you can actually enjoy your fireplace without worrying about chimney fires.
Most New Bedford homeowners are surprised by how much better their fireplace performs after a thorough cleaning. The difference is immediate and noticeable. No more struggling with poor airflow or smoke problems.
Clean chimneys also mean you’re not gambling with your family’s safety. Creosote buildup is highly flammable – even a small amount can ignite and cause a house fire. Professional cleaning removes this danger completely.
Above and Beyond Chimney has been serving New Bedford and Bristol County homeowners for years. We understand what coastal Massachusetts weather does to chimneys – the salt air, constant humidity, and temperature swings that can cause problems you won’t find inland.
Our technicians are trained in current chimney codes and safety standards. More importantly, we treat your home like our own. That means protecting your furniture with multiple drop cloths, using professional-grade HEPA vacuums, and cleaning up completely when we’re done.
We’re not the cheapest option in New Bedford, and that’s intentional. Quality chimney cleaning takes time, proper equipment, and experience. Cutting corners on chimney maintenance can cost you thousands in repairs or put your family at risk.
We start every job with a complete inspection of your chimney system. This means checking for structural damage, measuring creosote buildup, and identifying any blockages before we begin cleaning. No surprises halfway through the job.
Next comes protecting your home. We lay down multiple layers of drop cloths and seal off the work area. Our HEPA-filtered vacuums are designed specifically for chimney work – they capture soot and debris as we clean, so nothing escapes into your living space.
The actual cleaning involves removing all creosote, soot, and debris from your flue using professional brushes and tools. We clean from both top and bottom to ensure complete removal. Finally, we inspect everything again to make sure your chimney is clear and safe, then provide you with a detailed report of what we found and what we did.

Our chimney cleaning service removes all creosote, soot, and blockages from your flue. We also check for animal nests, leaves, and other debris that can create dangerous conditions. In New Bedford, we commonly find birds and squirrels that have made homes in unused chimneys.
Living on the South Coast means your chimney faces unique challenges. Salt air accelerates corrosion of metal components like dampers and flashing. High precipitation can lead to water damage if your chimney cap or crown needs repair. We inspect for these coastal-specific issues during every cleaning.
We also examine your chimney cap, damper, and flashing for signs of wear. Catching these problems early can save you thousands in major repairs. If we find issues, we’ll explain exactly what needs attention and provide honest pricing for any additional work. No pressure, no inflated estimates – just straight talk about what your chimney needs.
