Our history

James Richardson started work in the 1940s cleaning and repairing chimneys destroyed in Clydebank during the 'Blitz'. He is a founder member and past Chairman of The National Association of Chimney Sweeps. During his time in office, Jimmy was instrumental in guiding the association's development.

Jimmy is retired now, but the family connection is continued by his son in law Gordon McKinlay.

Gordon has many years experience carrying out assessments of new sweeps in Scotland ensuring standards in the industry are maintained and improved. He also is available to offer technical assistance and advice to fellow sweeps.

Richardsons chimney sweeps have undergone the appropriate training to carry out their work in a competent and safe manner.
