Chimney sweeping work in Finglas

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.

Dublin has the densest cleaning market in the country, and the most competition for it. Apartment turnovers, short-let changeovers and office contracts run all year rather than in season, which is what makes it possible to build a full week here without travelling far between jobs.

Requests in Finglas and the surrounding parts of Co. Dublin go out to professionals who cover the area. You say where you travel, so you are not offered work an hour away.
