Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from chimney sweeps in Oldham every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
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 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.
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.
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.

Questions from Chimney Sweeps in Oldham
Straight answers — no jargon.
Can you target specific areas within Oldham?
Yes. We set up your Google Maps listing and website to target the specific postcodes and areas you cover within Oldham. So you show up when someone nearby searches for a chimney sweep.
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.
I get most of my work through repeat customers — do I need this?
Repeat customers are the backbone of chimney sweeping, but they retire, move house, and sometimes forget. A strong online presence means new customers finding you every season to replace natural drop-off.
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 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.
