Chimney sweeping & flue cleaning

Chimney sweeping and flue cleaning in Malaysia

Updated 4 November 2026

There is no confirmed local price range for chimney sweeping in Malaysia yet, so the quickest way to a figure is a request on BlaBlaPrice. Prices are quoted per job in ringgit (RM), and the job itself decides the amount. Describe the flue once, and sellers can answer with one price.

The price depends on these points:

• the type of work and the heating type it serves
• the chimney type and its height in metres
• how many chimneys the property has and their condition
• whether the roof is easy to reach, and the site address
• when the work is needed, and your budget in RM

Check what the flue serves first

Tell the sweep whether the flue serves a stove, a fireplace or a boiler, since the heating type decides how much soot builds up and what has to be checked. A taller chimney takes longer to reach and clean. If the chimney has not been used for a long time, say so, because it changes the first inspection.

Rules and paperwork to ask for

The search results gave no Malaysian licence rule for this work that we can confirm, so do not assume a certificate is required. Ask any company for its SSM registration, which is the basic check here: a one-person business under a personal name registers for RM30 a year, and under a trade name for RM60 a year. Ask who will do the work, and whether the company carries insurance for work on a roof.

Season and weather

Malaysia is hot all year and has a wet season and a dry season instead of winter and summer, so there is no winter heating peak to book around. Work on the roof is safer on a dry day, because rain makes tiles and ladders slippery. A flue that is used every day, for cooking or hot water, needs checking more often than one that is hardly used, so set the next visit by how much the chimney runs rather than by the calendar.

How the job is booked here

Quotes come per job, so ask for one figure that covers the whole visit, including each chimney. Name the city in your request: Kuala Lumpur, George Town, Johor Bahru, Ipoh or Shah Alam. Give the chimney height in metres (m) and say if it is an estimate. Give the full site address and the floor where the access point is, since the route to the flue changes the work.

What to write in your request

Write the type of work, the heating type, the chimney type and height, how many chimneys there are, their condition if you know it, and whether the roof is easy to reach. Add the site address, when you need the work done and your budget in RM. A buyer who writes these points gets quotes that are easy to compare.

Describe the job in your own words in the BlaBlaPrice chat and add a photo of the chimney if that helps. BlaBlaPrice reads the request, asks for missing details and looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Malaysia, then shows the prices and businesses it found. Registered sellers receive the request and reply in the chat with their offer. Buyers pay nothing, and your contacts stay hidden until you choose to share them.
