Chimney Sweep In Hackney

Hackney

There's a reason the Hackney Society calls chimney pots "the punctuation marks between houses" - walk down any Victorian terrace street from Clapton to London Fields and you'll see exactly what they mean. The borough's housing stock is overwhelmingly Victorian, built in London yellow stock brick during a population explosion that took Hackney from 20,000 residents to 370,000 in a single century, and almost every one of those houses came with a fireplace in every room. We're well known around the Broadway Market and Victoria Park Village area, where beautifully restored period homes sit alongside the Saturday market buzz and the year-round swimmers at London Fields Lido. Hackney falls entirely within a Smoke Control Zone, Hackney so proper flue maintenance and DEFRA-compliant appliances are a must. Whether you've uncovered an original cast-iron surround during a renovation or you're keeping a modern stove ticking along in a De Beauvoir Town conversion, we've got you covered. We sweep hundreds of Hackney chimneys every year, and we still enjoy spotting the ornate ridge tiles and iron finials on the way up.

SweepSmart aren't your average chimney sweep

We're a Guild of Master Sweeps accredited company, one of a relatively small number of businesses in the UK that has earned that status. Paul, our founder, holds an NVQ Level 3 in Chimney Engineering, making him one of only five specialists at that qualification level in the entire country. We're also a Which? Trusted Trader, assessed and approved since 2015. That combination of credentials is rare in this industry. Most chimney sweeps are sole traders with no formal accreditation. When you book with SweepSmart, you're booking with a team that has put the work in.
