The cost of chimney sweeping varies based on the specific type of fireplace or stove. Gas fireplaces, which generally accumulate less residue than wood-burning variants, cost on average between £60 to £90 for a sweep. Wood-burning fireplaces, with their traditional design, usually range between £80 to £100.

The average chimney sweep salary in the USA is $44,298 per year or $21.30 per hour.

Your initial investment is £13,100 plus VAT and it is possible to borrow up to 70% of this initial investment through the major high street banks that have endorsed the Wilkins Chimney Sweep model.

The tradition of Chimney Sweeps kissing the bride and shaking the groom's hand for good luck started about 200 years ago after a London chimney sweep saved the life of King George III.
