The hosts were awarded a penalty on 26 minutes when former Spireite Harvey Araujo was judged to have blocked Ryan Stirk’s cross with his arm and referee Simon Mather pointed to the spot. Will Grigg stepped up to send goalkeeper Matt Macey the wrong way.
And it was 2-0 six minutes before half-time when Dilan Markanday blasted in from the edge of the box after some good work by James Berry.
Substitute Lee Bonis added a third moments after coming on to seal a comfortable and deserved victory to move the Blues back into the top seven.
