A Short Drive for Us
Chimney cleaning in Navan is one of the easier days on our calendar. Because the village is so close to our base, we can often fit small jobs into the schedule faster than we can for the west end. A sweep or a cap swap in Navan is one of the easier days on the calendar.
If a leak is dripping on your ceiling right now, say so when you call. We sealed 9 of those within the same week last year. We will try to look at it quickly, and we can often seal a cap or flashing the same week, with the proper repair booked for warmer weather.
Contact UsWhat Navan Chimneys Ask of a Crew
Navan sits about 25 km east of downtown Ottawa, southeast of Orleans, with the village centre at Colonial Road and Trim Road. About 1,864 people lived in and around Navan at the 2021 census, and it is part of the former Cumberland Township.
Country Lots With Wood Heat
A lot of Navan homes sit on big lots and burn wood, either as the main heat or as the backup. That means a yearly sweep, a cap in good shape and a liner that fits the stove. The flue is the part that wears out first, and a camera scan tells us how much life is left. We swept about 25 Navan chimneys last year.
Farmhouses and Their Original Stacks
The older farmhouses around Navan have brick chimneys that may be more than a century old. Their mortar is soft, their crowns are often cracked and few have liners. A good repoint and a new liner can bring an old stack back into service. We've seen unlined flues in about half of them.
Newer Homes on the Village Edges
The newer houses at the edge of the village tend to have siding-covered metal chimneys. The chase cover and the cap are the parts that fail, and a quick replacement stops the water. We carry common sizes and bend the rest to fit.
How Much Does a Chimney Cap Cost in Navan?
A standard chimney cap in Navan costs $150 to $450 installed in 2026, and a custom chase cover costs $450 to $1,400. A stainless cap with a mesh screen is our usual choice. The visit is included in the price, and HST is added to the invoice.

|---|---|---|
| Stainless cap with screen | $150 to $450 | 1 to 2 hours |

Questions Navan Homeowners Ask
Do You Charge Extra to Come to Navan?
No. Navan is close to our base, and the visit is part of the price on your written estimate. The only thing added at the end is HST. If you live down a long road, tell us when you call so we plan for the drive.
How Often Should a Country Chimney Be Swept?
Once a year if you burn wood, and twice for a stove you run daily. Out here, the wood is often your own, and its dryness matters more than anything else. Dry hardwood leaves little creosote, and wet softwood fills a flue fast.
Squirrels and birds like country chimneys, so a screened cap is worth the money. A nest in a flue is a fire risk and a smoke risk, and clearing one costs more than the cap would have.
A Written Price First
We climb up, look, and send you the price in writing. If a chimney needs nothing but a sweep, that is all you pay for.

Chimney Sweep FAQs for Navan
How quickly can you get to Navan?
Navan is close to our base, so in spring and summer it is often within a week. Fall fills up, and the wait can be two weeks. If you have an active leak or no heat, tell us when you call and we will try to move you up.
How much does a chimney sweep cost in Navan?
A chimney sweep in Navan costs $175 to $325 in 2026, and a camera scan adds $75 to $150 on the same visit. Taller chimneys cost more. We give you the price in writing once we have looked, and HST is added to the invoice.
Does my farmhouse chimney need a liner?
If you burn wood in it, yes. Old farmhouse flues were built without a liner, and the smoke and moisture slowly eat the mortar from the inside. A stainless liner is the best upgrade you can make. We install it in a day.
What does a cap do for my chimney?
It keeps rain, snow, birds and squirrels out of the flue and, with a screen, stops embers from landing on the roof. A cap costs $150 to $450 installed. Without one, rain can rust the damper and soak the bricks from the inside.
Can you repair a leaking chimney in Navan?
Yes. We find the source first, which is usually the flashing, the crown or the cap, and fix that. Small repairs can be done within a week or two. A repair that needs warm weather, like new mortar, waits until the temperature stays above about 5 degrees C.
