Mr Soot Chimney Sweep started as a one-man operation, founded by David with a simple goal — to offer a chimney sweeping service that’s genuinely professional, reliable and friendly.

Since then, we’ve grown into a multi-team business with offices in Manchester, Liverpool, Wigan, Preston and Stockport, along with a fully HETAS-approved training centre. But the values that got us here haven’t changed.

We still treat every customer the way we’d want to be treated — with honest advice, clear communication and a job done properly.

We’re not your typical tradespeople, and we take that seriously. No missed appointments, no vague timescales, no surprises on the bill.

Booking a tradesperson shouldn’t be stressful. At Mr Soot, every customer receives:

• A prompt, professional response to their enquiry — within one working day

• A dedicated appointment date and time slot

• Clear guidance on costs and payment before we arrive

• Written email confirmation and text reminders

• Live tracking on the day (subject to network coverage)

• Official certification backed by the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps

• Friendly, honest advice tailored to your setup

We know how frustrating unreliable tradespeople can be. That’s exactly why

we do things differently.

Every member of the Mr Soot team is fully trained, registered with the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps and genuinely passionate about what they do. We invest in ongoing professional development — attending industry events, training with other sweeps and staying up to date with best practice both in the UK and abroad. Our qualifications include:

• NVQ Level 2 in Chimney Sweeping

• Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps membership

• HETAS Approved (sweeping and installations)

• OFTEC Registered (solid fuel)

• Civil Aviation Authority registered (drone inspections)

• CSCS Skilled Worker Card (commercial sites)

We believe that looking after our team is how we look after our customers

Mr Soot offers flexible working, generous leave, paid professional development, birthday leave and a genuinely supportive working environment. Happy sweeps do better work — it’s as simple as that.
