Level 1 sweep and inspection to the NFPA 211 annual standard - flue, crown, cap, and flashing checked and photographed
Chimney sweep logs do not sweep chimneys. They loosen some creosote - which then falls where a brush and vacuum still have to collect it.

AfterChimney Cleaning Specials in Charlottesville, VA
If you’re looking for chimney cleaning specials in Charlottesville, call Top Hat Chimney at (540) 503-3890. Wendell Pike has been running this company since 1999, and the offers below are the same ones we’ve honored for years. No gimmick pricing that doubles on the invoice. No “first time only” fine print that disappears when you read the back of the card. These are standing deals for the people who live around here, and they stay standing because they work for us as much as they work for you.
What you’ll find below is honest money off work that keeps your chimney safe. A clean flue pulls smoke out. A damaged one pushes it back into the living room. That’s the whole pitch. You don’t need a coupon to call us with a question, and you never will.
Current Offers
Every offer below is valid through December 31, 2026. One offer per job, please. Some of these pair well with a chimney cleaning, so if you’re not sure which one fits, call Wendell and he’ll tell you straight.
$40 Off Any Repair Over $200
This applies to any repair that crosses the $200 mark: a cracked flue tile, a spalling brick, a damper that won’t seat. If the repair is over $200, you get $40 off. That’s it, no other qualifiers. It’s been on the books for years, and it’s the one Wendell mentions most often on the phone because it’s the one people actually use.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (540) 503-3890.
Free Second Opinion on Any Written Estimate
If another chimney company in Charlottesville has handed you a written estimate for liner work, a rebuild, or anything else, bring it to us. Wendell will walk your chimney, run a camera up the flue if the job calls for it, and give you a plain-English take on what’s actually needed. If the other guy’s number is fair, he’ll tell you that too. No obligation, no charge.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (540) 503-3890.
No Trip Charge Inside the County
If you live in Albemarle County or the city of Charlottesville proper, getting us to your door doesn’t cost a cent. That applies whether we end up doing the work or not. The sweep shows up, looks at the chimney, gives you a number before any tool comes off the truck, and if you decide to wait, you owe nothing for the visit.

10% Off Always for Seniors and Veterans
This one never expires and it applies to every job, every time. If you served or you’re over 65, you get 10% off the total. Wendell doesn’t advertise this loudly because he figures the people it’s for will find it, but it’s real and it’s been real since the first truck rolled out in 1999. Tell us when you book so we can note it on the work order.

Seasonal Chimney Cleaning Tune-Up
This is the offer Wendell pushes hardest every fall, and there’s a reason. Once a year, burn or no burn. Chimneys break in the off-season too. The seasonal tune-up covers a full sweep, a visual inspection, and a straight answer on whether your flue needs anything else before the burning season starts. If you haven’t had the chimney looked at in a year or more, start here.
Valid through December 31, 2026. Mention this offer when you call (540) 503-3890.
Free Estimate on Any Liner or Rebuild Job
Liner replacement and full rebuilds are the big-ticket items, and you should never pay to find out what one costs. Wendell will come out, run the camera if the situation calls for it, and put a number in front of you before you commit to anything. The camera footage and a plain-English verdict, every time, no exceptions. That’s just how this company works.

How to Redeem
Nothing complicated here. Three steps, that’s the whole thing.
- Call (540) 503-3890. A live person answers, around the clock. No voicemail box, no call center. Mention which offer you’re calling about so the note goes on your work order before the visit.
- Book the visit. You’ll get a real arrival window from a real person. If anything shifts on the day of the job, you’ll get a call before it happens, not after.
- Present the offer at the time of service. If you called ahead and mentioned it, it’ll already be on the invoice. No code to type into a website, no app to download.
One more thing worth saying plainly: the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. No trip charge inside the county, no surprise add-ons when the job is done, and the 90-Day Done Right Promise is stamped on every ticket. If something’s not right after we leave, one call brings Wendell back at no additional cost. That’s been the rule since 1999, and it’s not changing because a coupon got involved.
Ask anyone on your street. And if you want to know what your chimney actually needs, call (540) 503-3890 and we’ll tell you the truth before we ever touch a brush.
