Chimney sweeping work in Ireland
Chimney sweeping is a certificated trade and a sharply seasonal one: almost all of it happens between late summer and midwinter, when people start lighting fires. Insurance companies and landlords ask for the certificate, which is what keeps the work coming back annually.
What comes up in this trade
- Annual sweeps before the heating season
- Landlord certificates for rented properties
- Stove and solid fuel appliance servicing
- Nest and blockage removal in autumn
What the work needs
- Certification recognised by insurers
