Self Assessment & MTD Help for Chimney Sweeps
Leave the tax forms to me, and focus on what you do best.
​
If you're a self employed chimney sweep, you already work hard enough without having to battle tax deadlines and HMRC jargon. That’s where I come in. I offer friendly, expert support with Self Assessment and Making Tax Digital (MTD) tailored specifically for chimney sweeps across the UK.
​
And the best part? I'm not just another faceless accountant, I've actually been in your boots.
From Rooftops to Returns: A Sweep Who Understands
Before founding Barleyfields Accountancy, I spent years building up my own successful chimney sweeping business Sparkling Flues. I know the early mornings, the seasonal rush, the cost of tools and fuel, and the value of word-of-mouth reputation.
​
I also know what it’s like to be self-employed, trying to juggle jobs, bookkeeping, and a pile of receipts while still giving customers an excellent service. That real world experience is exactly what makes our support different. I speak your language, and understand the trade inside out.
​
I’ve worked with everyone from solo sweeps to growing family-run outfits, and I know first hand how important it is to get your tax right, without the stress.
What We Do for Chimney Sweeps
Whether you’re just getting started or have been sweeping for years, we can help with:
Self Assessment Tax Returns
We’ll sort your return from start to finish, logging your income, claiming relevant expenses (travel, tools, insurance, memberships, you name it), and submitting it to HMRC. We’ll make sure it’s done right, on time, and without stress.
​
Making Tax Digital (MTD)
With MTD becoming mandatory from April 2026 for many self employed tradespeople, now’s the time to get ahead. I'll help you set up simple, approved software and even manage your quarterly updates if needed, no spreadsheets, no stress.
Year Round Support
We’re not a once a year service. Got a question in July? Want to check if something’s tax deductible? We’re just a call or email away, and promise no jargon or judgement.
