Full job description

Fireplace & Stove Installer / Builder (Construction Experience Required)

SweepSmart – Welwyn Garden City

£30,000 – £52,500+ per year (depending on experience)

This is a niche trade and a genuinely interesting one to get into. Chimneys and fireplaces sit right in the core of a property and working on them requires specialist knowledge that most construction trades never develop.

As a result, you quickly become an expert in something very few people truly understand. The work is varied too — one day you might be installing a stove in a Victorian terrace, the next working on a large country house or carrying out chimney repairs on a period property.

We are looking for someone with solid construction experience who can develop into running jobs independently. You don’t necessarily need direct experience installing fireplaces or stoves, as we can train and support you with that, but you do need the practical building skills and confidence to carry out installation work to a high standard.

Just as importantly, we’re a small team and we genuinely enjoy working together. Character matters a lot to us. We’re looking for someone reliable, easy to get along with and someone who takes pride in their work.

Salary

£30,000 – £52,500+ depending on experience and capability.

There is a wide salary range because it depends on the level you join at. Someone with strong relevant experience who can confidently run installations will naturally start towards the higher end.

However, we are also open to experienced tradespeople who may need some training in the fireplace and stove side of the work before running jobs independently.

A significant part of earnings can come from commission. The larger and more complex the jobs you are able to complete, the more you can earn — so the salary is not capped.

Key qualities we’re looking for

Good character and a team player
Solid construction experience and practical ability
Pride in workmanship and attention to detail
Reliable and professional when working in customers’ homes

Because we are a small team, personality and attitude are genuinely important.

Experience & Skills

Construction or builder experience essential
Experience as a multi-trader or multi-skilled tradesperson highly desirable
Brickwork experience highly desirable
Plastering experience a strong advantage
Fireplace or stove installation experience a major advantage
HETAS qualification highly desirable
Gas Safe qualification a strong advantage
Full UK driving licence preferred

Fireplace and stove installation uses a combination of construction skills, particularly brickwork and plastering, so experience in these areas is especially valuable.

Working at height

A significant part of this role involves working at height.

This includes accessing chimneys on roofs using ladders and roof ladders. We always take safety seriously and follow safe working practices, but this work regularly involves being at height on residential properties.

Applicants must therefore have genuine experience working at height in a construction environment. Being comfortable with heights alone is not enough — experience working safely at height as part of building, roofing or similar construction work is important.

A typical day

Most days start at our unit in Welwyn Garden City, where you will collect materials, load the van and meet your colleague for the day.

We normally work in teams of two.

From there you will travel to site to carry out installations, chimney repairs or fireplace work. Our jobs cover London, Hertfordshire and Essex, so travelling into London is a normal part of the role.

Typical work might include:

Installing wood burning or multi-fuel stoves
Fireplace alterations and installations
Flue liner installations
Chimney repairs and building work
Hearth installations and finishing works
Chimney sweeping and inspection work
General chimney and fireplace maintenance

Every property is different, which keeps the work varied and interesting.

About SweepSmart

SweepSmart is a specialist chimney and fireplace company working across London, Hertfordshire and Essex. Our work includes chimney sweeping, inspections, chimney repairs, flue systems and stove installations.

We are growing steadily and building a team of people who take pride in their work and enjoy what they do. Everyone helps each other out, and as the business grows there are opportunities to grow with it.

Standards

A fireplace is a key part to a home, so the finished product and how we conduct ourselves on site is extremely important. How you present yourself, how you communicate with customers and how clean and tidy you keep your work area are all key parts of the job and will be considered as part of the application.

Application question

When applying, please briefly describe your construction experience and whether you have experience working at height (for example roofs, ladders or scaffold).

Pay: £33,800.00-£52,000.00 per year

Benefits:

Company car

Application question(s):

What is your construction experience?
Are you comfortable working at heights?
Have you worked within the fireplace or stove industry before?

Licence/Certification:

Driving Licence (required)

Work Location: In person
