I am an experienced City and Guilds qualified chimney sweep based in South Lanarkshire, proficient in all aspects of chimney safety, maintenance and potential fire or emission hazards. I recently became a Training Officer (Scotland) with the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, which is one of the two major professional chimney sweep organisations in the UK.

Well, we sweep chimneys of course, but we are trained to do a lot more that involves the comfort and safety of homeowners and their families. Living in a home that uses a fireplace, gas or oil appliances or a solid fuel stove carries a certain responsibility. Our friend Daniel Hodgson, a chimney sweep in the south was interviewed by the BBC. He explains the importance of having your chimney checked if it has been closed up or not been used for some time. He also talks about smokeless zones - and fuel needs which will apply to cities like Glasgow and Edinburgh.
