Now again, may not be the first choice for everybody but hear me out for a moment. The business has vastly changed from the terribly unsafe ways and practices of the olden days, which means the only thing getting stuffed up the chimney is the equipment and not you.
How easy is it you join you say? Well here in the UK, you don’t actually need to pursue any official training or take up any qualifications to be a chimney sweep and join in on the trade. Now, that being said it would still be in your best interests to not take that as an incentive to start plundering peoples chimney stacks without a clue what you’re actually doing.
