Chimney Sweeping Support for Housing Associations and Maintenance Contractors
Housing and maintenance work needs reliable subcontractors who understand appointments, access, paperwork and communication.
The Good Sweep provides chimney sweeping support for properties with open fires, chimneys, stoves and solid-fuel appliances across Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas.
We can support one-off instructions, overflow work, planned maintenance and grouped route days, subject to availability and agreed scope.

Designed for Real Access Conditions
Managed housing visits can involve tenants with limited availability, missed appointments, key arrangements, rural or dispersed properties, repeat visits and contractor reporting requirements.
The Good Sweep understands these operational issues and communicates in a straightforward way.

Subcontractor and Overflow Work
The Good Sweep may be suitable where a housing provider or main contractor needs additional sweep capacity, coverage in rural Suffolk, Norfolk or Cambridgeshire, support during pre-winter demand, route-based sweeping days or documentation for maintenance records.
We do not overpromise capacity. Work is agreed based on area, scope, access requirements and scheduling.
The Good Sweep provides chimney sweeping, certificates and visual notes where appropriate. These are not statutory compliance certificates, structural surveys, fire risk assessments, asbestos surveys or substitutes for specialist inspections.
Can you work with housing associations directly?
Yes, subject to agreed scope, documentation requirements, access arrangements and availability.
Can you work as a subcontractor for a maintenance contractor?
Yes. The Good Sweep can support main contractors with chimney sweeping, tenant appointments and documentation where appropriate.
Can you manage tenant appointments?
Yes, where agreed.
Do you provide no-access reporting?
Yes. If access is not available, this can be recorded and reported back.
Do your certificates provide statutory compliance sign-off?
No. Sweep certificates confirm that sweeping has been carried out. They do not replace statutory checks, specialist inspections or legal compliance processes.
