The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps is the UK’s premier trade association for professional chimney sweeps. The Guild was established over 25 years ago with training, standards and member co-operation at its heart.
All our members are well trained and many are out and out experts. Promoting safety and efficient use of fires and fuels is our main concern for consumers. Providing the best business tools and support for our members helps them provide the best services to their customers.
We ensure robust training, mentoring and assessment standards for new sweeps. Mandatory refresher courses help experienced members keep up to date in a rapidly changing industry.
Consumers
Consumers can rely on a Guild sweep to clean their chimney correctly. They will also provide advice on correct fuel and appliance use, any repairs needed, and general safety. This guidance improves safe use, reduces pollution, saves money and sometimes even saves lives!
The Guild works together as a co-operative community of members. Individual sweeps can draw on a wealth of collective knowledge to assist customers with any specific questions or unusual problems. Search for your local Guild sweep here.
