I offer the service, along side the logs, i find it has had mixed results, some are very happy and love it, others have made stupid remarks like, does your wood ruin our chimney then !!

 

I have a regular list of clients who are happy and thats all that matters to me.

 

Any new customers, i try and have a chat about the previous wood they used, how often they had the chimney swept etc, the odd one seem to think i am trying to screw them for more money, but on the whole most are impressed to learn what burning wet wood does, and the fact i pass on information freely, whether they take up the sweep service or not dont matter to me.

 

It helps get rid of the cowboys selling crap wood

Wet wood and crap wood are both the same thing when delivered on the week you want to burn them.

 

But yes i meant crap wood, i have seen loads of old window frames, floor boards, pallets, even ply delivered as a load of logs !

So what courses/qualifications do you need to be a sweep and how long does it take to become qualified? and what does it cost?
