Chimney sweep software built around the job, not a generic trade toolkit
Sweep Certificates is chimney sweep business software for UK and Irish sweeps: finish certificates and warning notices on site, run your diary, send reminders, raise quotes and invoices, keep customer and appliance history together, and sync to your accounts when you are ready.
A sweep business is more than a form. You need association-style certificates, warning notices, annual reminders, a busy diary, quotes and invoices, and a customer history you can rely on. Paper pads cost money and give you no follow-up. Certificate-only apps stop short. Generic trade platforms cost far more and still need bending to fit sweep paperwork. Software for chimney sweeps should start from the work you already do.
How Sweep Certificates helps
Finish paperwork before you leave
Create branded certificates and warning notices on site, with appliance history in front of you, even when signal drops.
Keep the diary full
Use scheduling, confirmations and reminders so annual sweeps come back instead of drifting to someone else.
Admin that stays connected
Quotes, invoices, payments and customer records sit with the same job history, ready to sync to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage.
Priced for a real sweep business
From £18.50/month, with Premium at £24/month including three users. No setup fees, unlimited jobs, and free setup help.
What is included
Certificates and warning notices
Issue association and independently branded sweep certificates from the van, plus warning notices when an appliance or flue is unsafe. Photos, notes and appliance details stay on the customer record so next year’s visit starts with the facts already there.
Diary and scheduling
Plan your week with appointment types and durations that match the job, including longer slots when there are multiple chimneys to sweep. Confirmations and reminders sit on the same diary, so scheduling is not a separate system. See chimney sweep scheduling software for a closer look.
Reminders by email, SMS and WhatsApp
Send booking confirmations, appointment reminders and reminders to book on timings that suit your business. WhatsApp runs through a Meta Tech Provider route, so you pay Meta direct with no Sweep Certificates markup. SMS is available at 4.5p per message.
Quotes, invoices and payments
Create quotes from the customer record, turn work into invoices, and track what has been paid without retyping the job. Certificates, quotes and invoices stay linked so each visit has a clear money trail.
Customer and appliance records
Keep names, addresses, contact details, appliance history and past certificates together. Your customer list becomes an asset you can hand over or sell later. Add a new owner to the account and they carry on with full history.
Reporting and analytics
See how the business is doing without building spreadsheets after hours. Useful for solo sweeps checking the books and for small teams keeping an eye on the season.
Accounting sync for Making Tax Digital
Sync invoices to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage when you want your sweep records to match your accounts, without re-entering every job.
Online booking, offline app and multi-user
Online booking is a £10/month Premium add-on that understands diary rules, notice periods, booking horizons and travel distance. The mobile app works offline and syncs when you are back in coverage. Premium includes three users so sweeps on the road and an admin in the office share one set of records.

Frequently asked questions
What software do chimney sweeps use?
Many UK and Irish sweeps use purpose-built chimney sweep software such as Sweep Certificates for certificates, diaries, reminders, quotes and invoices. Others still use paper pads, a certificate-only app, or expensive generic trade platforms. Sweep Certificates is built for sweeps and stove installers from day one, with over 200 active sweeps and free setup help.
Is there software for chimney sweep certificates and reminders?
Yes. Sweep Certificates lets you create digital certificates and warning notices on site, then send email, SMS and WhatsApp reminders for bookings, appointments and annual rebooks, all from the same customer and job records.
How much does Sweep Certificates cost?
Standard is £18.50/month. Premium is £24/month and includes three users. Larger teams can add more users, and online booking is a £10/month Premium add-on with the first calendar month free. There is a 30-day free trial with no credit card and no setup fees.
Does chimney sweep software work offline?
The Sweep Certificates mobile app works fully offline so you can finish certificates and see the day’s appointments when signal drops. Everything syncs when you are back in coverage.
Can I switch from paper certificates?
Yes. Send your logo and customer list and we will set you up free, including imports from a spreadsheet or an old system export. You can also photograph paper certificates in the app. Try it on one real job during the trial before you change everything.
Does it include a diary and scheduling?
Yes. Scheduling is part of the same chimney sweep business software as your certificates and reminders, appointment types, durations, confirmations and online booking rules included. There is a dedicated page on chimney sweep scheduling software if that is what you are comparing.
Can it sync with my accounting software?
Yes. Sync invoices to Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent or Sage so your job records support Making Tax Digital without double entry.
Is online booking included?
Online booking is a £10/month add-on for Premium. It uses your diary rules, such as notice periods, booking horizons, travel distance and appointment lengths, and feeds straight into confirmations and reminders instead of sitting in a separate booking tool.
