Who this list is for

This checklist serves a chimney sweeping business cleaning household chimneys and flues. It is for setting up appointments, protecting the work area, and documenting findings after local licensing and safety requirements have been confirmed.

How to use this list

Set up Business registration, General liability insurance, the Chimney sweeping service menu, and Inspection and sweep price sheet first. Use the Customer booking form and Property access instructions form to plan each visit. At the property, record conditions with the Fireplace and chimney condition form and Pre-service photo record before staging dust sheets, the HEPA vacuum, chimney brush set, extension rods, and rotary chimney sweeping system.

Do not accept work before confirming applicable local licensing and safety requirements. Skipping pre-service photos or the condition form can leave the customer and service provider without a shared starting record. Avoid carrying soot without Soot collection bags, and do not let ash or dust protection become an afterthought.

When you are done

Collect soot with the ash scoop and Soot collection bags, then check that dust sheets and the work area are accounted for. Complete the Service report template and provide the Customer findings notice template when appropriate. Keep the final report with the booking and pre-service record.
