Chimney Sweep In Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire is home. SweepSmart is based in Welwyn Garden City, one of the world's first planned garden cities, and our sweeps have been working across the county for over a decade. We know the difference between maintaining the distinctive neo-Georgian chimney stacks of the garden city streets and sweeping a Tudor inglenook in a Chilterns village, because we've done both more times than we can count. From the medieval market towns of St Albans and Hertford, with their extraordinary concentration of listed buildings and period fireplaces, to the commuter belt around Watford and the rural villages tucked into the county's northern reaches, we cover all of it. Hertfordshire sits largely outside London's Smoke Control Areas, which means wood-burning is genuinely popular here, and proper annual sweeping is what keeps it safe and legal. If you're looking for a chimney sweep who knows this county inside out, you're in the right place.

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.
