Why Choose Sweep Sisters
Two sisters, one standard: a proper sweep, a spotless room and an honest answer. Here is why homeowners across Essex and Hertfordshire keep booking us, the jobs we take on, and what our customers say in their own words.
Two sisters who set out to do chimney sweeping properly
Adele and Sian started Sweep Sisters because they wanted to build something of their own in a trade that had barely changed in decades. Chimney sweeping was dusty, male-dominated and full of firms that turned up late and left a mess. They saw a chance to do it differently.
They trained hard, learned the ins and outs of stoves, open fires and older flues, and became HETAS certified. Today they run a female-led team covering Essex and Hertfordshire, and every job is done the same way: sheets down, vacuum running, full sweep, smoke test and a certificate your insurer will accept.
The result is a 5.0 rating on Google and a diary full of customers who book again every year.
