What is a HETAS chimney Sweep?

A HETAS chimney sweep is a chimney sweep who is registered and certified by HETAS, the UK’s official body for approving solid fuel heating appliances, fuels, and services, including chimney sweeps. The organisation ensures that individuals working in the solid fuel industry follow strict safety and regulatory standards, especially when it comes to cleaning and maintaining chimneys and solid fuel heating systems.

Further HETAS also offer certification for the installation of wood burners as being compliant with current Building Regulations when using a member deemed competent by them.
