Help from day one
You do not need to be technical. We'll help with your certificate setup and customer imports to get you ready to try the app with real jobs.
Email your logo, contact details, and payment details to go on your certificates, and a spreadsheet or old system export if you have one.
You can add your certificate branding and import customers yourself, or we can do it for you free of charge.
Create your first certificate on-site, then send it to the customer before you leave.
Plain tools for field paperwork, customer follow-up, quotes and tidy records.
Create certificates and warning notices on-site, capture signatures, record appliance history, and remind customers when their next sweep is due.
Prepare quotes, store install notes and photos, send commissioning details, and keep records ready for future servicing or follow-up work.
Before you leave the job
The best time to finish the admin is when the job is fresh. Sweep Certificates helps you complete the important bits from your phone, then keeps the office records tidy afterwards.
Email the certificate or warning notice as a PDF, with your branding and customer details already filled in.
Mark whether the customer paid by cash, card, cheque, BACS or invoice, so you know what is still owed.
Turn the appointment details into an invoice and keep the figures ready for your accounting software.
Keep the future sweep, service or follow-up in the system so repeat work is not left to memory.
WhatsApp for Business
Sweep Certificates is a Meta Tech Provider, so you can connect your WhatsApp Business Account and send reminders, confirmations and customer messages from your own business number.
WhatsApp messages can include more detail than an SMS and are paid directly to Meta. Utility messages (reminders, confirmations) to UK numbers are currently around £1.59 per 100 messages.
You connect your own WhatsApp Business Account, and Meta bills message costs directly. Sweep Certificates does not add extra per-message fees.
If a customer replies, the conversation can continue in WhatsApp without paying for each follow-up message once the 24-hour customer service window is open.
Send appointment reminders, booking confirmations and due-sweep messages through a channel many customers check faster than email.
Indicative Meta pricing can change quarterly. Marketing messages to UK numbers are currently around £3.82 per 100 messages.
Paper certificates, warning notices, printing costs, and postage add up fast

Real reviews from professional sweeps who made the switch
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!
The businesses that prepare now will spend less time firefighting later. Sweep Certificates connects to Xero, QuickBooks, and FreeAgent to automatically sync your customer and appointment data.
