Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Birmingham every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
No way for customers to book online
Modern customers expect to check availability and book in seconds. If your only contact method is a phone call, you're losing bookings to sweeps who make it easier.
Only known in a small area through word of mouth
Your regulars rebook every year, but you could be covering twice the area. A strong Google Maps listing means people across your whole region find you when they search.
HETAS certified but nobody online knows it
Your certification matters — it's what separates you from cowboys. But if it's not front and centre on your website and Google listing, customers can't see the difference.
No website to build trust and show credentials
Homeowners want to check you're legitimate before letting you into their home. Without a professional website showing your certifications, insurance, and reviews, they'll pick someone else.

What Makes Birmingham Unique for Chimney Sweeps
Birmingham is home to Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, post-war council housing, and modern city centre apartments. Our chimney sweeps clients serve homeowners and businesses across areas like Edgbaston, Moseley, Harborne, Erdington, covering the B postcode. Largely Victorian and inter-war, with significant post-war rebuilding in the city centre, which means there is always work to be done.
The most common reasons people search for a chimney sweep in Birmingham include soot build-up, bird nests in chimneys, chimney inspections. Peak demand September-November before heating season; spring clean-up after winter burning. Businesses registered with Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, HETAS stand out from the crowd, but only if potential customers can actually find them online.
Competition among chimney sweeps in Birmingham is stiff, with around 30-60 businesses in the area. But fewer than you would think have a website that actually generates enquiries. The opportunity is there for any chimney sweep willing to invest in their online presence.

No. After an initial 3-month period (so we can actually show results), it's rolling monthly. Cancel with 30 days' notice. No lock-ins. And you keep the website either way.
I get most of my work through repeat customers — do I need this?
