Chimney sweeping and flue cleaning in India: prices and tips

Updated 31 October 2026

Kitchen chimney cleaning in India is listed from about ₹399 to ₹499 per visit, and a yearly cleaning plan at around ₹549. Commercial kitchens are priced differently, at about ₹5,000 an hour, ₹6,000 a day or ₹12 per square foot. The quickest way to current prices for your building is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the chimney is for, and what to check

Most of the work in these cities is removing grease from a kitchen chimney, so tell the sweep whether the unit is a kitchen hood or a flue for a stove or water heater, and how many chimneys there are. Give the height in metres and say whether the roof can be reached from inside the building or only by ladder. Commercial quotes are per hour, per day or per square foot, so a restaurant should state the area and the number of cooking points.

Season and weather

The climate is hot all year, with a wet season and a dry season instead of winter, so the soot from heating that is common in colder countries is rarely the problem here. Grease from daily cooking is the main job in most kitchens, whatever the weather. Book roof work in the dry season, when the roof and ladder are not wet from rain. A yearly plan, listed at ₹549, suits a home that cooks every day.

How the work is priced

Home jobs are quoted per visit, and the listed figure is a starting price, so the final amount depends on the size and access. Commercial jobs use hourly rates, daily rates or a price per square foot, which is about ₹130 per square metre. Ask whether exterior cleaning is included, since some sweeps do it with a steam machine and charge for it separately. Ask the sweep to confirm the price in writing before the visit, with the number of chimneys included.

What to put in your request

Write your city (Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai), whether the chimney serves a kitchen, a stove or a heater, the number of chimneys, the approximate height in metres, and whether the roof is accessible. Add the site address, when you need the work, its condition if you know of a blockage, and your budget in rupees. Photos of the chimney top help a seller quote the right job.
