# Traditional Chimney Sweep
Traditional Chimney Sweep is a family-run chimney cleaning service operating from Runcorn, Cheshire, with additional operations across Kent and East Sussex. The business has deep roots in the trade, founded by Peter James Locke in 1930 and now operated by the third generation, Elliott Locke, in the Cheshire region.
The company serves homeowners and property managers across Runcorn, Warrington, Widnes, Frodsham and the wider Cheshire area who rely on open fires, wood burners and stoves. They address the critical safety issue of soot accumulation, which is the leading cause of chimney fires—potentially devastating and expensive damage to homes.
What sets Traditional Chimney Sweep apart is their authentic heritage and local expertise. Unlike chain operations, this is a genuinely family-operated business with three generations of experience in traditional chimney sweeping techniques. Their friendly, personal approach emphasises care and quality service rather than corporate efficiency. The business actively supports the local community and maintains traditional working hours (9:30–18:30, Monday to Saturday) for customer convenience.
Beyond standard sweeping, they offer specialist advice on coal burning (including smokeless versus regular coal regulations) and seasoned firewood selection to prevent chimney fires. Notably, they also provide chimney sweep services for weddings, adding a unique ceremonial dimension to their offerings. This combination of safety expertise, family heritage and diverse services makes them a distinctive choice for Cheshire residents.
