Who We Are
Wilkins Chimney Sweep is one of the leading and oldest provider of chimney sweeping services in the UK. More than chimney sweeping, we also offer nest and blockage removal; cages, caps & owls cleaning; CCTV surveys; and carbon monoxide alarms and many more!
Why Join Us
As an associate member of the British Franchise Association, Wilkins Chimney Sweep offers only the highest quality services and is compliant of all accreditation requirements of the chimney cleaning industry. In addition with hundreds of years of experience in the field, we believe that further progression will not be achieved without innovation and good leadership. We are proud that we don't lack in both areas as evidenced by recognitions from many prestigious organisations. Our recent accolades include the “Best Franchisee Marketing Support Award” in 2014 and a runner-up in the “Best PR Campaign Award all from the Franchise Marketing Association.
The demand in chimney sweeping has seen its rise and fall. However, recent demand shows a significant growth thanks to the increasing interest in renaissance architecture and in fireplaces in general. This means that more people are more likely to engage in our services today. Moreover, this means that Wilkins Chimney Sweep is a ripe franchise opportunity for people ambitious enough to brave the industry.
