Chimney sweep + fireplace · Inland Empire + Orange County
Swept clean since 1989.
Oliver Twist Chimney Sweep and Fireplace is a family owned company, sweeping and servicing chimneys for over 30 years: inspections, cleaning, liners, repair, restoration, and new fireplaces and stoves.
Services
The full chimney, top to hearth.
One family crew for the whole system: the cap on the roof, the flue in the middle, and the firebox where you sit.
Chimney inspections
Full inspections, including video inspection of the flue, so the condition of your liner is on screen before anyone recommends work.
Sweeping + cleaning
Industry-grade brushes, rods, and commercial vacuums take out creosote, soot, and debris, with your interior surfaces covered and protected while the crew works.
Liner solutions
Chimney liner repair and replacement, plus smoke chamber parging to smooth the rough surfaces that trap smoke and hold creosote.
Repair + rebuilding
Brick repair and replacement, tuckpointing, and partial or complete rebuilds. The crew evaluates first and explains what is actually needed before any tear-out.
Caps, crowns + chase covers
A proper cap or flue cover keeps animals, leaves, and weather out of the chimney. Crown and chase cover work protects the top of the structure itself.
Fireplace repair + restoration
Fireplace repair and restoration services that bring a tired hearth back to safe working order, for homes and businesses alike.
Fireplaces + stoves: sales + installation
New fireplaces, inserts, and stoves in wood, gas, or electric, installed to California safety codes. After installation, the crew walks you through operating your new appliance.
Why sweep
The smoke should leave. Everything else should too.
A chimney that draws clean is a chimney that was swept, inspected, and capped by people who know what builds up inside one.
- Creosote is fuel. Across Inland Empire communities, the primary cause of chimney fires, and often devastating house fires, is creosote in the chimney. Removing it safely and effectively is the core of this trade.
- Blockages draft backwards. Leaves, twigs, and nesting material choke the flue and can send deadly carbon monoxide into living spaces. A sound cap keeps the chimney for smoke only.
- The mess stays contained. Professional crews cover and protect interior surfaces and run commercial vacuums while they work, so soot and ash end up in the vacuum, not across your home.

Process
How a visit runs.
Inspect first
Work starts with an inspection of the chimney and flue, video included where it is needed, so any scope of work is based on what is actually up there.
Sweep, then repair honestly
Creosote and debris come out with professional brushes, rods, and vacuums. If repairs are needed, basic work comes first: a full rebuild is recommended only when the evaluation truly calls for one.
The walkthrough
With a new fireplace, insert, or stove, the crew walks you through operating the appliance and covers the basics, so you get the most out of the new unit from the first fire.

If another company has estimated chimney work for you, this crew will give you a thorough second opinion on the scope of work, at no cost and with no obligation. It is how the company, formerly Ye Olde Brit Chimney Sweep, has kept customers coming back year after year: evaluate honestly, quote fairly, and let the work argue for itself.
FAQ
Asked at the hearth.
Annual inspection and cleaning is recommended for most systems. It is the simplest way to stay ahead of creosote, the primary cause of chimney fires, and to catch damage while it is still a repair rather than a rebuild.
Creosote is the residue that builds up inside the flue as smoke cools and settles. Left in place, it is fuel for a chimney fire. Professional sweeping with industry-grade brushes, rods, whips, and commercial vacuums removes it safely and effectively.
