We are a van based, full time chimney sweep franchise that operates from a home office.
We have been cleaning chimneys in private homes, pubs and offices since 1895. Our franchisees sweep open fires, wood burning stoves, Jetmasters, Rayburns and Agas burning any type of fuel, so there is vast growth potential. 
Our service is a ‘need’ product rather than a ‘want’, as we help validate property insurance policies since regular chimney sweeping is a requirement of most policies (whether the policy holder knows this or not!).

We are the only bfa accredited franchise in our industry sector. Our pilot franchise sweeps 3,000 chimneys each year and approximately 70% of these are customers who have used our service previously. The business delivers £120,000pa in revenue from chimney cleaning and fitting cowls.
Described as the perfect business model, we offer a van-based, full time chimney sweep franchise that operates from home.

We’ve been cleaning chimneys since 1895. Our franchisees sweep chimneys, fit cages and cowls, and provide an important safety service – and they trade as WILKINS CHIMNEY SWEEP, Established 1895.
Our model ticks the boxes for a sustainable, growing, profitable business.
