Chimney Sweeping for Holiday Lets, Cottage Agencies and Short-Stay Properties
Open fires and wood burners are part of the appeal of many holiday cottages, rural stays, inns and short-let properties.
They also need practical maintenance, clear records and careful timing around guest stays and changeovers.
The Good Sweep provides chimney sweeping for holiday lets across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas, with sweep certificates, photo notes where appropriate and grouped route days for multiple properties.

Planned Around Guests, Changeovers and Seasons
Holiday-let work needs more coordination than a normal domestic sweep.
The Good Sweep can help with pre-season sweeps, pre-winter sweeps, changeover coordination, multiple cottage visits, rural access arrangements, certificates and practical communication with managers, owners or housekeepers.
The aim is simple: keep the sweep organised, documented and timed to avoid unnecessary disruption to guest stays.

Useful for Cottage Agencies and Multi-Property Managers
If you manage several cottages or short-stay properties, The Good Sweep can help you plan batches rather than arranging each sweep separately.
Grouped route days can work well for cottage agencies, Airbnb managers, holiday-let portfolios, rural property clusters, estate cottages, pubs, inns and hospitality venues with open fires.
Send a property list with addresses, access notes and appliance details, and we can discuss a practical route.
Sweep certificates and visual notes help provide evidence that a sweep or visit has taken place. They are not a fire risk assessment, structural survey, appliance service, asbestos survey or substitute for any specialist or statutory inspection.
Can you work around guest bookings?
Yes, where scheduling allows. We can coordinate with changeover windows, managers, owners or housekeepers.
Do you provide certificates for holiday-let records?
Yes. Sweep certificates are provided after chimney sweeping.
Can you sweep several cottages on one route?
Yes. Grouped route days can be arranged for multiple properties in suitable locations.
Can you provide photos for owners or managers?
Where appropriate, photo condition notes can be provided to help with maintenance records and owner updates.
Do you guarantee a fireplace or stove is safe for guest use?
No. The Good Sweep provides chimney sweeping, certificates and visual notes where appropriate. Standard notes are visual and observational only and do not replace specialist inspections, statutory checks or appliance servicing.
