About us

Our creation

Jennings Chimney Sweeping was founded in the summer of 2019 by Kristian Jennings, after his parents struggled to find a local chimney sweep for their woodburner—a requirement for their house insurance.

From day one, Kristian built the business with rigorous professionalism, earning recognition as a Master Chimney Sweep and certified member of the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps. Over several months, he personally trained James Kittle in every aspect of the trade, ensuring the same high standards would continue under new leadership.

In 2025, the business was officially taken over by James Kittle—an experienced, enthusiastic sweep who trained with RodTechnology in Ireland and is also a certified member of the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps. James is proud to carry on the Jennings Chimney Sweeping name and deliver the trusted, high-quality service the region has come to expect.

James initially completed training with the RodTechnology (IRE) before passing further examinations and assessments allowing him to become a certified member of the Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps.
