What fellow chimney sweeps say

Three sweeps in their own words.

Since integrating the app and website into our business, we've seen a significant improvement in our workflow. The ability to create certificates for our customers has streamlined our process massively...

and the automated reminders for upcoming appointments and sweep due dates have helped our customers return year after year. My customers appreciate the reminders, and it has helped us maintain a more organised schedule. Although we had a few hiccups transferring our existing data onto the system, Matt was incredibly supportive and helped us get everything sorted. It has been running smoothly for nearly two years now. They continuously add great new features and are constantly evolving the platform, making it faster and easier to use. Overall, the system has been an invaluable tool for my business.

Since I started my business, Sweep Certificates has been an invaluable tool for managing my operations. From booking sweep appointments to issuing branded sweep certificates and warning notices, the platform's efficiency is unmatched...

The auto reminder feature ensures that my clients never miss an appointment, and I get a notification every morning to download the days appointments for working offline, which has significantly boosted my productivity and customer satisfaction. The intuitive interface and comprehensive features have streamlined my workflow, allowing me to focus on providing top-notch service. I like the simple invoicing system that you can add the extras as you fill out the certificate and the invoice is automatically populated. I highly recommend Sweep Certificates to anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution to rising print costs and missed appointments.

I have been using the sweep app for over a year now. I've built up so many clients on the app that have received their yearly reminder to get their chimney or stove serviced. It's incredible; its booking system and reminder system store the appliance details for the next sweep...

It sends the clients a reminder text and email 2 days before the appointment is due. It's linked with either your Google Sat Nav or your TomTom Satnav on your phone. It stores your "What3Words" address for hard-to-locate addresses and is linked to a digital Google Calendar. My clients are so impressed with the system. I literally have no idea how I got on without this. It's a true business changer for any sweep. I'm so grateful this app exists and for the hard work put in to help us sweeps out. I have asked so many questions about the app, and they help me out so often. Thanks so much!

How it works

For annual sweeps and everything in between.

  1. The job goes in the diary

    Customers book online within your driving distance, or you add the job yourself.

  2. Certificate and invoice on site

    Fill in the certificate and invoice on your phone, take photos and send it before you leave.

  3. Reminder goes out next year

    When the sweep is due the customer gets a reminder and books again.

Before you leave the job

Built for sweeps and stove installers

Sweeps issue the certificate and book the next appointment there and then or we'll send the reminder for you. Installers quote the job, keep the photos and book the first service. Either way you finish on site while the customer is still there.

Send the certificate

Email the certificate or warning notice as a PDF with your branding already on it.

Record payment

Record how they have paid or are going to pay. We don't take a cut.

Raise the invoice

Turn the appointment into an invoice ready for Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage automatically.

Set the next reminder

Keep the next sweep or service in the diary so work repeats and the customer does not have to look for a sweep.

Online booking

Customers book themselves in while you are on the job

They book from a personalised reminder link or on your website or social media, and only see slots within the driving distance you set, near jobs already in the diary. The day fills up without wasted miles, and confirmed bookings land in your diary with the usual confirmations.

Online booking is a Premium add-on at £10 per month. The first calendar month is free when you turn it on. Read about online booking for sweeps.

Teams and offices

One sweep or a team of them

Sweeps work from the app. The office works from the web. Everyone sees the same diary and the same customers, and you decide who can see and do what.

Premium includes three users. Four to six users is £29 a month and unlimited users £34, so you are not paying per head as you grow. Franchise or subbed work is £10 a month per sweep.

Running a bigger team or a call centre? Email us and we will walk you through it before you move the diary.

Certificate of sweeping

All sweeps can use our standard certificate of sweeping packed full of information for the customer.

  • Your logo
  • Payment & contact details
  • Association watermark
  • Accreditation logos

From sweep to certificate in minutes. Less evening admin once you are home.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers before you start a trial.

Nothing is taken, because we never asked for a card. If you want to carry on, choose Standard or Premium in the app and pick up where you left off. If not, you owe nothing.

  • The customers, appointments and certificates from your trial stay in your account
  • Pay monthly, or pay for the year and get 12 months for 11
  • No contract. Cancel from the subscriptions page and it runs to the end of the period you have paid for

Sign up, add your company details, then create a test customer or your first real job. You do not need every customer imported before you try it on a sweep.

For help, email your logo, contact details, payment details or customer list to info@sweepcertificates.co.uk.

  • Try a customer and appointment straight away
  • Use the app on site when you are ready
  • Add branding yourself or let us help
  • Bring customers across now, later, or one at a time

Bring customers across even if they are not in a tidy spreadsheet:

  • Email us a spreadsheet, old export or customer list and we can help format it
  • Use the self-service import if you prefer to do it yourself
  • Add customers manually as you book work in
  • Photograph paper certificates in the app and review the details before saving
  • Use due dates for reminders and repeat bookings

Yes. The customer list is yours. Download it as a spreadsheet from the customers page whenever you like. You do not need to ask us first.

  • Your customers and their details in one spreadsheet, ready for wherever you go next
  • No contract and no exit fee
  • Certificates you have sent are already in your customers' inboxes, and in your Sent Items if you send from your own email

They stay put. The customer list, appliance history and past certificates you build up over the years are part of what you sell. Add the new owner as a user, hand over the subscription, and they carry on with the full history.

  • Message every customer to introduce the new sweep
  • The new owner sees who is due and when, from day one
  • A paper diary retires with you. This does not

Most now expect one. A paper certificate goes in a drawer and is lost by the time the insurer or the landlord asks for it. A digital certificate sits in their inbox for as long as they need it.

  • Sent by email, or WhatsApp if you use it, before you leave the drive
  • Room for more than a paper pad: appliance details, notes, advice, and prices if you want them shown
  • Your association's layout or your own branding
  • Print one for the customer who still wants paper

Standard replaces the paper pad: certificates and warning notices from the app, customer and appliance records, and a diary. You do the reminding and invoicing yourself. Premium does the chasing for you, and that is where the time comes back.

  • Reminders to book and appointment confirmations go out by email or SMS on their own. SMS is 4.5p a message. WhatsApp is optional and billed by Meta direct. Read about WhatsApp for sweeps
  • Quotes, invoices and payment tracking from the same job
  • Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent and Sage sync
  • Three users included, so the office and the van share one diary
  • The difference is £5.50 a month. One customer brought back by a reminder pays for it

No. Your customers pay you the way they do now: cash, cheque, bank transfer or your card machine. We do not sit in the middle of the payment or take a cut of the job.

Yes. On Premium you can turn on Online Booking so customers pick a service and request a slot from a reminder link or your website.

  • You set the driving distance, notice period, weekends and how far ahead people can book
  • Existing customers use reminder links; new customers can use your public booking link
  • Bookings land in your diary, with optional email, app and todo notifications
  • Online booking is £10 per month, with the first calendar month free when you turn it on

Yes. Sweeps use the app on site and the office uses the web, all on the same diary and customer list.

  • Premium includes three users, with four to six users at £29 a month and unlimited users at £34
  • You set what each person can see and do
  • Sweeps have their jobs on the app and it works offline when they have no signal
  • Franchise or subbed sweeps can be added at £10 a month each

The app works offline. Your customer data is already on your phone:

  • Search customers using downloaded data
  • Create certificates offline
  • Everything syncs when you are back in coverage

Yes. Certificates can be sent from your own email address, so:

  • Customers recognise you immediately
  • All certificates are in your Sent Items
  • You keep your professional branding
  • No need to change email providers

Your data is hosted in the UK on Microsoft Azure with bank-level encryption in transit and at rest.

  • Daily backups
  • You control access for staff and permissions
  • GDPR compliant with the right to delete customer records
