How did you get started in the trade and when was it?
I started with a fire installation company in 2008 and then over the years my interest grew in the industry. I took a real interest in how chimneys work and the up-keep/maintenance of a chimney and quickly realised my favourite thing about that job was the sweeping of chimneys. I took the plunge and decided to set up my own chimney sweeping business in and I’m so pleased I did – I never looked back!
