Chimney Sweep About us
Founded in 1999 Swept Away Chimney Sweep is a small, friendly family-run chimney sweeping business dedicated to providing a first-class no-mess service for every customer.
Find out about the 'Swept Away Difference' here and what sets us apart from newer sweeps in the area.
We specialise in sweeping and inspection all flues and appliances with minor repairs and stove servicing. By investing continuously in training and modern equipment we combine our high standards of service with the tried and tested traditions of our trade.
We maintain strong working relationships with members of the leading industry organisations including The National Association Of Chimney Sweeps (NACS), The Guild Of Master Chimney Sweeps, APICS, HETAS, Chimney Skills Training, NVQ providers and an extensive network of experienced professional chimney sweeps across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. We are also proud to be the chimney sweep of choice for many of the estate agents, construction firms and fireplace showrooms in and around Bath.
Rory began sweeping alongside his father in Ireland over 30 years ago, continuing throughout his school years before setting out on his own at 18. He went on to build a successful career in construction and as a highly regarded senior tree surgeon before returning to his family trade. His broad experience brings added expertise with a practical edge to the services he provides today.
Rory refines his skills through regular training courses every summer and enjoys connecting with fellow chimney sweeps across the UK and further afield often accompanying them on their rounds as part of a busmans holiday!
Rory has visited 47 countries where he delights in participating in local customs and culture often hosted by a local chimney sweep - highlights include sweeping and firing up Hammam Moussaine Bath House In Marrakech the repair and service of a stove in a mongolian yurt, servicing of a russian putchka in Siberia and sweeping days out in Bulgaria and Romania.
He lives in an 18th-century cottage with his wife Liza, Emily the cat, two stoves, three open fires and the brick bread oven.
