How to pick a chimney sweep
Choosing a qualified, insured and professionally accredited chimney sweep is essential to ensure your chimney is cleaned safely and to the highest industry standards. Chimney sweeping is a skilled profession requiring specialist training, the correct equipment and a thorough understanding of modern flues, wood-burning stoves, open fires and multi-fuel appliances.
Captain Sweep is NACS Approved, having completed the UK’s most comprehensive chimney sweep training programme. Every chimney sweep is carried out in accordance with the NACS Code of Practice, and includes an insurance-recognised sweeping certificate accepted by UK insurers.
Before booking any chimney sweep, we recommend asking:
- Are they NACS Approved or accredited by a recognised professional body?
- Are they fully insured?
- Do they issue an insurance-recognised chimney sweeping certificate?
- Do they use modern, professional chimney sweeping equipment?
The National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS), established in 1982, is widely recognised as the UK’s leading professional chimney sweeping association. Its rigorous training, technical standards and Code of Practice help ensure customers receive a safe, professional and reliable service.
When choosing a professional chimney sweep in Bath, qualifications, experience and recognised accreditation are just as important as price. A properly swept chimney helps protect your home, your appliance and your family’s safety.
