Chimney sweeping work in Co. Waterford
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.
A city county gives you the mix that is hardest to find elsewhere: enough density to fill a week without long drives, and enough variety that the work does not disappear when one type of client goes quiet. Regular domestic work forms the base, and end-of-tenancy and office contracts sit on top of it.
