This of course had to be a little bit of Father Christmas’s red outfit that must have got snagged in the chimney from his last visit. If the circumstances are right I also send the children…and the adults out in to the garden to make a wish as is tradition when the brush, or now power sweeping whip head springs from the chimney pot. I do love when there are little ones at home when I’m going along to sweep the chimney, and letting them know how it is very important to have the chimney swept to make sure Father Christmas can get down the chimney, and how it is my job to clean all the soot from the chimney so that when he arrives on Christmas eve he doesn’t make any mess when he comes down the chimney. ![]() No not us sweeps, but our friend Father Christmas. Pre-Christmas is, as everyone knows, the time of year that chimneys and fireplaces need to be prepared for a very special visitor!. The early start also works well for our customers who are at work for around 9am or doing school runs, or even those with younger children like myself who are always up at that time regardless. This seems to work well for catching the first light of day and for being able to actually see the chimney pot, stack etc. To squeeze everyone in and make the most of our days, and the daylight, we (being myself and Val sweep) have been arriving at our first appointment of the day bright and early at 7am! My favourite customer enquiry was a nice gentleman who called, who could not possibly wait that long, who then quickly returned the call to say that his wife insists they book an appointment as if we are that busy we must be exceedingly good! Which of course we are! But no, they cannot possibly wait until January, although most do ring back after a ring around when they realise all sweeps are just the same at this time of year. Regardless of if they have already been using it for weeks, months or years, all of a sudden it requires sweeping immediately before Christmas, and ‘’do we have availability next Tuesday?”! Unfortunately, we do not and have been heavily booked up for quite some time and are now taking bookings for the new year. Why Christmas is a busy time of year for Chimney Sweeps It seems that the whole world requires their chimney sweeping before Christmas! This article will cover. ![]() Well it’s that time of year again folks, with the Christmas chimney sweeping deadline looming. ![]()
