(860) 743-7743Contact Top Hat Chimney - Free Chimney Cleaning Estimate in Bristol
Call (860) 743-7743 and you’ll reach a live coordinator who knows our Bristol schedule, not a maze of menu options. We’ll set up a free chimney assessment at a time that works for you, walk you through what we find with camera footage, and hand you a written estimate before you spend a dime. No hard sell, no pressure to sign on the spot. Just straight answers from a local team led by Wendell Pike, who’s been sweeping chimneys in Connecticut since 1999.
What Happens When You Call
Step 1: You call, a person answers. Our coordinator picks up during regular hours, asks where you’re located, and gets a feel for what’s going on with your chimney. You won’t sit through a phone tree or get transferred three times.
Step 2: We schedule your free assessment. You pick a time that fits your week, including evenings and Saturdays. We’ll give you a straightforward window, and if anything slips, you’ll hear from us before you have to wonder.
Step 3: We inspect and hand you a written estimate. Wendell or a member of his team looks at the flue, the cap, the crown, and the firebox. You see the camera footage for yourself, then we give you a line-by-line written quote that won’t change when you open the door.
Step 4: The work gets done right, or you don’t pay double. Once you approve, we schedule the sweep or repair, do the job, and stand behind it. Wendell puts his name on every job, and the guarantee is in writing.
Why Bristol Homeowners Call Us First
- We’re actually local. Our trucks carry Wendell Pike’s name, and he’s the person accountable for the work. You’ll run into him at the hardware store, which is the oldest accountability system there is.
- Licensing and insurance are required, not optional. Every pro working under the Top Hat Chimney name is required to hold the license and insurance Connecticut requires. Wendell published his name and license number because that’s how a neighbor does business.
- The price on the paper is the price you pay. No phone quote that balloons at the door. You get a written estimate after we see the chimney, and nothing gets added without your say-so.
- Ninety days in writing. Every chimney job carries a ninety-day written guarantee. One call brings us back if something isn’t right. Wendell would rather keep you for twenty years than win one big ticket.

Frequently Asked Questions - Booking & Estimates
Yes. We come out, inspect the chimney, show you the camera footage, and hand you a written estimate at no charge. You’re under no obligation to hire us, and we won’t pressure you. Call (860) 743-7743 to schedule it.
Most Bristol appointments are scheduled within a few days, and evenings and Saturdays are available. During the fall sweep season, the calendar fills fastest, so calling before the first fire of the year is the smart move. Call (860) 743-7743 and we’ll find the soonest opening that works for you.
No. Our regular hours include weekday evenings until 8:00 PM and weekend appointments, and there’s no extra charge for booking in those windows. Monday through Friday we’re open 7:30 AM to 8:00 PM, and weekends from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM.
Just your address and a quick sense of what’s going on. Has it been more than a year since the last sweep? Notice any smell, smoke backing up, or animals? That’s all we need to point the visit in the right direction. Call (860) 743-7743 and we’ll take it from there.
We accept cash, check, and all major credit cards. Payment is due when the work is complete, and your written estimate will match your final bill unless you approve a change first. Call (860) 743-7743 with any questions about a quote or a bill.
Call or Request a Callback

No voicemail black holes. No pressure. Just a straight answer about whether your chimney needs work and what it’ll cost.
