A new career as a Chimney Sweep?

So you’re thinking of becoming a Chimney Sweep?

As with anything, a healthy amount of luck will always benefit anyone looking for new work. Back in the day when I started, I’d go round door to door, personally finding work the hard way. There was also of course, the Yellow Pages. The Yellow Pages at the time was the go to source for finding all things tradesmen, including the local Chimney Sweep. Today, everything is dominated by social media, word of mouth being faster than ever before. Customers can be found for little or no money at all, without the need to even stretch your legs.With reasonable effort, time and of course, a pinch of luck, you can build up a Chimney Sweeping round and earn yourself a nice living with hours to suit you. Never restricted to the same four walls, everyday you’re out and about, meeting new people, seeing new places and learning something new. Life as a Chimney Sweep can be very satisfying indeed.
