Meet the Sweep Sisters
Adele and Sian founded Sweep Sisters to prove that thorough, professional chimney care doesn't have to come from a trade stuck doing things the old way. As a female-led team, we combine proper expertise with a clean, careful approach and exceptional customer service.
We sweep everything from Victorian terraces in Chelmsford to modern stoves in Brentwood and Georgian townhouses in Hertford. When you book, the team you speak to is the team that turns up. See our chimney sweep Essex and chimney sweep Hertfordshire pages for the towns we cover.
Every visit follows the same routine: dust sheets down, vacuum running, a full sweep, a smoke test, and a HETAS certificate for your insurer. If we spot a problem, we show you photos and explain your options. There's no pressure.

Recently moved into a property with a log burner, having not experienced the need for getting one cleaned I booked sweep sisters through recommendation and they were spot on! For my house insurance I needed an accredited sweeper which they are. Adele and Sian were so friendly and took care of my home when cleaning and left the room spotless! Spoke through what they had done, would highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!!

Having been let down by someone else, we looked at reviews and thought we would try the Sweep Sisters. Great decision. So professional and friendly, quick and super clean job. Very knowledgeable, no one else will be sweeping our chimney going forward.

Adele came round today (Saturday) to sweep a couple of our chimney stacks, and the service was fantastic from start to finish. She was extremely knowledgeable, professional, tidy and clean, keeping dust to an absolute minimum and making sure everything was properly covered. The CO alarm and smoke evacuation tests were included in the price, and she cleaned the stoves too. I honestly couldn’t recommend her highly enough. We’ll definitely be using Adele for our annual chimney sweeps going forward and wouldn’t consider using anyone else. Fantastic service all round. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure to have The Sweep Sisters in my home today. They let me know in advance when to expect them and arrived on time at my door with friendly smiles. Their work on my log burner and chimney was thorough and efficient. No fuss and no mess. I would be happy to recommend them.

I’ve been using Adele and Sian, The Sweep Sisters, for the last two years and I honestly wouldn’t use anyone else! They are both so friendly and welcoming and immediately make you feel at ease. They are extremely clean, efficient and professional, and always do a fantastic job. For me, it’s well worth the money for the peace of mind knowing that when I relight my log burner this winter, it’s been properly cleaned and is safe to use. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend The Sweep Sisters to anyone looking for a reliable, friendly and professional chimney sweeping service.

We have 3 fireplaces that we have had swept for the last 25 years. Sweep Sisters have done the most thorough job todate, I feel confident the flues have been properly swept and our wood burning stoves look immaculate, with the cleanest glass since installation. Also did a great job refurbishing one of the stoves that needed a new back brick. Great job! Thanks!

Great service. They were kind and genuinely went above and beyond to help and advise me. They took the time to explain what was going on and offered sensible advice. Friendly, professional and trustworthy — exactly the sort of people you hope will turn up when you need help in your home. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them and will definitely use them again, especially as they’re a local business too. Thank you!
Tara P.September 2026 · Google review - ★★★★★
I was thoroughly impressed by the service I received from Sweep Sisters. My initial enquiries were answered quickly and the questions I had were answered thoroughly and honestly. We booked Sweep Sisters for a routine sweep and inspection with further investigation of some brickwork in the chimney stack. Communication was clear and they didna fantastic job. Again, very thorough and willing to answer all of my questions. They were also very kind and left the place spotless afterwards. Would 100% recommend.

Sweep Sisters were introduced me via FB Sawbridgeworth community page and they were right! Adele is fantastic. Fast, efficient, knowledgeable and a genuine pleasure to meet. I can't thank her enough for a great service on my wood burner at a great price. Strongly recommend 👌
