About Chimney Care Academy
Professional Chimney Sweep Training Built From Real Experience
Chimney Care Academy provides professional chimney sweep training for people entering the chimney care industry, as well as structured development for those already working within it.
The Academy was established by experienced UK chimney care professionals who have built, operated, and grown successful chimney businesses. Our training is grounded in real-world chimney sweeping and chimney care — not generic theory or classroom-only instruction.
We exist to raise professional standards through practical training, clear systems, and responsible working practices.
OUR TRAINING APPROACH
Professional chimney sweeping requires more than basic instruction. It demands technical competence, safety awareness, and a clear understanding of how the work is carried out in real homes, day to day.
Our training focuses on:
Practical, hands-on chimney sweep training
Safe working practices and correct equipment use
Industry standards and professional conduct
Business and operational foundations for new entrants
This approach ensures trainees leave with the confidence and knowledge required to begin work responsibly.
OUR TRAINING LOCATION - COTSWOLD, UK
All practical training is delivered at our dedicated training facility in the heart of the Cotswolds, located at:
OX20 1PW
Our central UK location has been chosen to make training accessible for people travelling from across the country. The facility provides a professional environment suitable for hands-on instruction that reflects real chimney sweeping conditions.
