Chimney Sweep In Islington

Islington

Islington is Georgian terrace country, and we love it. From the grand townhouses of Canonbury Square and Duncan Terrace to the elegant garden squares of Barnsbury, these three- and four-storey homes were built with fireplaces as the spine of every floor, meaning chimney maintenance here is not a luxury, it's structural common sense. We're regulars on the streets around Thornhill Square and along the beautiful New River Walk, where some of the borough's finest period homes sit quietly behind their original wrought-iron railings. The entire borough is a Smoke Control Zone, so if you're using a wood-burner or gas fire in one of these listed chimney breasts, compliance matters. With so many properties falling within conservation areas, we take extra care to treat your chimney stacks and pots with the respect they deserve. If your Georgian fireplace has been blocked up since the 1970s and your walls are feeling damp, that's probably not a coincidence, give us a call.

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.
