ABOUT POTTS CHIMNEY SWEEPING LTD
Who We Are
Potts Chimney Sweeping is one of the longest running chimney sweeps in the Wellington and Taunton area. It was established in 1982 when Bill Potts and Dave Mitchell established their chimney sweep partnership, Mitchell and Potts. When Dave sadly died this left Bill as the only sweep who then trained his son Shane the family trade. Sadly Bill passed away too in 1992, leaving his son Shane to take on the family business. Shane kept up the sweeping business for over 20 years. However, he found a passion for the plumbing trade alongside chimney sweeping. In 2017 Shane decided he no longer had the time to carry on chimney sweeping alongside his plumbing business. He therefore decided to pass on his vast knowledge and experience that he built up over his decades in the trade to long term family friend, Dan; who then purchased the business from Shane. Dan aims to deliver the same high levels of service that their long standing customers have been provided over the decades as well as aiming to improve his own knowledge and skills whenever possible. This includes using the latest chimney sweeping equipment such as power sweeping, alongside the more traditional methods of sweeping where appropriate.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I HAVE MY CHIMNEY SWEPT?
Nine times out of ten we would recommend that our customers have their chimney swept annually. This applies to both stainless steel flexible liners and traditional masonry chimneys. Occasionally, depending on burning habbits and amount of use this may vary, sometimes more frequently, sometimes less. However, if in doubt, annually is normally best, especially as some insurance providers require evidence of regular maintenance.
