Why a local chimney sweep is worth it
Local knowledge
We sweep the same towns every week, so we know the housing, from Victorian terrace flues to twin-wall stove systems on new builds.
Faster appointments
Because we're nearby, we can often come the same day, instead of your enquiry waiting in a national queue.
The same team every time
You deal with the people who swept your chimney last year, and they already know your stove and flue.
Problems fixed, not referred
If we spot a failed rope seal, a missing cowl or loose pointing, we can usually quote and fix it. See our chimney repairs.
How to check a chimney sweep before you book
Whoever you choose, these checks take two minutes and filter out most cowboys. There's more detail in 5 things to check before booking a chimney sweep.
- Are they registered with a recognised scheme such as HETAS, the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, NACS or APICS? Each one has a public register you can search.
- Do they have public liability insurance, and will they show you proof?
- Will you get a sweeping certificate afterwards?
- Do they smoke-test the flue, not just sweep it?
- Is the price confirmed before they start?
- Do they have recent reviews from homeowners near you?

Recently moved into a property with a log burner, having not experienced the need for getting one cleaned I booked sweep sisters through recommendation and they were spot on! For my house insurance I needed an accredited sweeper which they are. Adele and Sian were so friendly and took care of my home when cleaning and left the room spotless! Spoke through what they had done, would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

Having been let down by someone else, we looked at reviews and thought we would try the Sweep Sisters. Great decision. So professional and friendly, quick and super clean job. Very knowledgeable, no one else will be sweeping our chimney going forward.

Adele came round today (Saturday) to sweep a couple of our chimney stacks, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, tidy and clean, keeping dust to an absolute minimum and making sure everything was properly covered. The CO alarm and smoke evacuation tests were included in the price, and she cleaned the stoves too. I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We’ll definitely be using Adele for our annual chimney sweeps going forward and wouldn’t consider using anyone else. Fantastic service all round. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure to have The Sweep Sisters in my home today. They let me know in advance when to expect them and arrived on time at my door with friendly smiles. Their work on my log burner and chimney was thorough and efficient. No fuss and no mess. I would be happy to recommend them.

I’ve been using Adele and Sian, The Sweep Sisters, for the last two years and I honestly wouldn’t use anyone else! They are both so friendly and welcoming and immediately make you feel at ease. They are extremely clean, efficient and professional, and always do a fantastic job. For me, it’s well worth the money for the peace of mind knowing that when I relight my log burner this winter, it’s been properly cleaned and is safe to use. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Sweep Sisters to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and professional chimney sweeping service.

We have 3 fireplaces that we have had swept for the last 25 years. Sweep Sisters have done the most thorough job todate, I feel confident the flues have been properly swept and our wood burning stoves look immaculate, with the cleanest glass since installation. Also did a great job refurbishing one of the stoves that needed a new back brick. Great job! Thanks!

Great service. They were kind and genuinely went above and beyond to help and advise me. They took the time to explain what was going on and offered sensible advice. Friendly, professional and trustworthy — exactly the sort of people you hope will turn up when you need help in your home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again, especially as they’re a local business too. Thank you!

I was thoroughly impressed by the service I received from Sweep Sisters. My initial enquiries were answered quickly and the questions I had were answered thoroughly and honestly. We booked Sweep Sisters for a routine sweep and inspection with further investigation of some brickwork in the chimney stack. Communication was clear and they didna fantastic job. Again, very thorough and willing to answer all of my questions. They were also very kind and left the place spotless afterwards. Would 100% recommend.

Sweep Sisters were introduced me via FB Sawbridgeworth community page and they were right! Adele is fantastic. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable and a genuine pleasure to meet. I can't thank her enough for a great service on my wood burner at a great price. Strongly recommend 👌

Local chimney sweep FAQs
What's the difference between a local chimney sweep and a national company?
National directories pass your enquiry to whichever contractor is free, which can mean longer waits and someone different each year. A local sweep works the same towns every week, can usually come sooner, and you deal with the same team every time.
How do I know if you cover my area?
We work across Essex and Hertfordshire. Check the Essex and Hertfordshire pages, or send the form with your postcode and we'll confirm.
Do you do chimney repairs as well as sweeping?
Yes: re-pointing, pot and stack repairs, cowl and bird guard fitting, and flue liner assessments. See all our chimney services.
How quickly can a local sweep come out?
Same-day appointments are often available, and we offer 24/7 emergency cover for urgent problems like smoke coming into the room or a suspected blockage.
