Gaffer for
chimney sweeps.

Sweeping is a season, not a year. Everybody rings in October and nobody rings in May, and the ones who forget are the ones you swept last autumn. Gaffer issues the sweep certificate on the phone before you are off the doorstep, keeps the appliance condition report against the fireplace, and texts last year’s customers a booking link in September. Quote, schedule, certify, invoice and get paid — with the 14 trade documents chimney sweeps actually use already in the account.

Where two names look alike they are different documents — a notification is not the certificate that follows it, and two schemes covering the same work each want their own form. If you think one is missing, or that one of these is redundant, say so and we will change the pack.

Certificates & forms

14 trade documents, ready for chimney sweeps.

10 of them are written for this trade and 4 are shared with others — an EICR is an EICR whoever issues it. Every one is a real digital form, not a blank template.

Each one is a proper digital form: the fields that document actually needs, signature capture, photo attachments, a PDF the customer can keep, and — where it has one — an expiry date Gaffer tracks. Completed on the phone, offline if it has to be.
