Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Brighton every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Losing annual repeat customers to competitors
Chimney sweeping is a recurring job — once a year, every year. If a competitor has a better online presence, your loyal customers might switch without thinking twice.
Not showing up on Google Maps in your area
Someone searches "chimney sweep near me" and picks from the top results. If your listing isn't optimised, you're invisible to the customers searching right now.
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.

The Brighton Market for Chimney Sweeps
Across the BN postcode, Brighton offers a diverse mix of properties: Regency terraces and squares, Victorian and Edwardian seaside villas, modern marina developments. Areas like Hove, Kemptown, Portslade, Rottingdean each bring their own challenges, and Regency-era seafront architecture, Victorian expansion, with inter-war and modern estates. That keeps local chimney sweeps in demand all year.
The most common reasons people search for a chimney sweep in Brighton 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 Brighton 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.

Questions from Chimney Sweeps in Brighton
Straight answers — no jargon.
How is this different from directory listings?
Directory listings charge you per lead and bury you among other sweeps. We build YOUR online presence so customers come directly to you. No middleman, no per-lead fees.
How will this help me get more chimney sweep bookings in Brighton?
We make sure your business shows up when someone in Brighton searches for a chimney sweep. That means a professional website showcasing your certifications, a Google Maps listing that ranks locally, and more reviews to build trust.
What if I already have a website?
We'll audit it for free. If it's slow, missing your certifications, or not bringing in bookings, we'll fix it. If it's already decent, we'll focus on Maps, reviews, and ads instead.
Is there a long contract?
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.
How many chimney sweeps are competing in Brighton?
There are several sweeps serving Brighton, but most have weak websites and few reviews. A properly optimised online presence with your HETAS credentials front and centre puts you ahead immediately.
