BJ Chimney Sweeping has kept Northland’s fires clean and safe for more than 20 years — a genuine family business built on careful work and honest advice.
BJ Chimney Sweeping is run by Brandon and Carolyn Hawke, Whangārei locals who’ve been sweeping chimneys and checking fireplaces across Northland for over two decades.
What started as a way to keep local homes warm and safe has become one of the region’s most trusted names in chimney care. Brandon does the work himself — so the person who answers the phone is the person who turns up, sweeps your flue and checks your fire. No call centres, no rotating crews, no surprises.
We’re NZHHA-certified and our cleans are insurance-approved, but what customers mention most is the little things: on time, tidy, and happy to explain what they found and why it matters. That’s the difference between a job done and a job done properly.

Two decades keeping Northland’s chimneys clean and safe — experience you can rely on.
Members of the New Zealand Home Heating Association, trained to the industry standard.
Brandon and Carolyn run every job themselves — you always deal with the owners.
A documented annual sweep that helps you meet what your home insurer expects.
Careful drop-sheets and dust control — we leave the room as tidy as we found it.
