Chimney sweep software for a season that arrives all at once

The round, the photos and the invoices for a trade that does most of its year between September and January, with the same houses coming back annually. The sweep certificate itself stays yours to issue — this keeps the job record behind it.

The OlasBoard job pipeline as chimney sweeps use it: leads, booked jobs, work in progress and done, each with the client, the date and the price
  • Annual customers come back on their own
  • Photo record of every sweep
  • Invoice on the doorstep
  • Season and year figures separately

A year that happens in four months

“September to January is chaos and then there is nothing.”

Income and costs are dated, so the season has its own figures and the quiet half of the year is planned rather than survived. Offer the backlog to whoever is working and it distributes itself.

“The same houses every year and I find them all again from scratch.”

Every customer keeps their address, their flue, their notes and last year’s price. Repeat work is set up once and comes back when it is due.

“The customer wants something to show their insurer.”

The job carries the date, the time it was done, who did it and the photos. That is the evidence behind a certificate — the certificate itself you still issue through your own scheme.

“I sweep all day and do paperwork at night.”

The invoice comes off the finished job in one step, on the doorstep, with your VAT number and rate already on it.

“Cover for a sick day in November is a phone tree.”

Offer the day’s jobs. Whoever is free takes them, exactly one person per job, with clashes refused automatically.

“A second sweep would be a second licence.”

Seats come with the plan, so seasonal help costs you wages and not software.

A season, and the one after it

  1. AugustLast year’s customers are already there as repeat jobs, with their prices.
  2. SeptemberThe backlog goes out as offers. The crew take what they can reach.
  3. A TuesdaySix sweeps. Photos and notes on each job; each invoiced at the door.
  4. NovemberSomeone is off. Their day is offered and covered in twenty minutes.
  5. FebruaryWhat the season made, after fuel, brushes and the van.
  6. Next AugustThe cycle starts again from the record, not from memory.

The real problem is not knowing what is going on in your own business

Everything else follows from that. If you cannot see it, you cannot price it, chase it, or tell who is carrying the work.

Do you actually know what you made last month?
Not turnover — what was left. Income, costs and the margin on every job in one place, so the answer is a screen rather than an evening with a bank statement.
You pay a manager. Can you see what they did?
Leads handled, how fast they answered, what converted. From the record, not from their summary of it.
Which of your clients are still short?
One definition of unpaid across every screen, and the late ones chased on a schedule with the message already written.
Did anybody actually go to that job?
When it was taken, when it started, when it finished, and the photos from while they were there.
Are you pricing the work right?
What you quoted sits next to what it took. After a dozen jobs you are pricing from your own history instead of hoping.

Numbers from what people did, not from what they reported

Most tools tell you what somebody typed into them. These figures come off the work itself: the moment a job was taken, the moment it was started, the moment it was finished, the hours that fall out of that, and the photos attached while the person was standing there.

Nobody writes their own report card. That is the difference between a dashboard you believe and one you argue with.

Per-person performance reporting is on the Business plan. Job records, timings and photo proof are on every plan.

For anyone running a crew

Stop ringing round to fill a job

The job goes to the whole crew at once and the first person free takes it. No calls, no group chat you have to keep track of afterwards.

  1. 01

    You add the job

    Client, address, time, price. Thirty seconds, from the van.

  2. 02

    The whole crew sees it

    One offer to everyone instead of five messages sent one at a time. Their phone buzzes.

  3. 03

    The first one free takes it

    Exactly one person gets it, however many tap at once — and nobody can take a job on top of one they already have.

  4. 04

    You find out without asking

    It shows who took it. If nobody does, you hear about it in hours, not on the day.

And your crew does not cost extra

Most tools in this category price per user, and “user” means anyone with a login — your crew, your subcontractors, the person in the office. The bill grows every time you hire.

Here the seats come with the plan. €99 a month covers up to 20 people, and the price is the same whether 20 of them are working today or two.

Everything the job needs, in one app

Stop paying for five tools that do not talk to each other.

Job pipeline in OlasBoard: columns for leads, booked, in progress and done, each job a card with the client, the date and the price

Visual job pipeline

Lead → Booked → In Progress → Done → Paid. Drag a job across, and everything downstream follows.

Client list in OlasBoard showing each customer with their total spend and job history

Clients that remember

Every job, quote and invoice against the client, with what they still owe you on the same screen.

OlasBoard home screen on a phone: income, expenses and net profit tiles above a weekly cash-flow chart

Money in and money out

Income and expenses, split by job or general, receipts photographed and attached as you go.

Reports screen in OlasBoard with an accountant CSV pack, a tax report PDF and a picker for what to export to Excel

Reports your accountant can use

Tax report, profit by job and client, exported to Excel, CSV or PDF at the end of the quarter.

Analytics dashboard in OlasBoard charting revenue, expenses and profit over time

See the trend, not just today

Revenue, expenses and profit by day, week, month or year — so a bad week reads as a bad week, not a crisis.

Team screen in OlasBoard listing crew members with their roles and who is available

A crew, when you have one

Invite people, set what they can see, and let workers claim jobs, run a timer and upload proof from their own phones.

Built in, not sold separately

An assistant that has read your books

It sees your pipeline, your invoices, your expenses and your crew — and answers the questions a good business partner would.

  • “Who owes me money and how late are they?”
  • “Which of these leads should I ring first?”
  • “Am I actually making anything on recurring cleans?”
  • “Photograph this receipt and file it against yesterday's job.”

Ask by typing, by voice, or by photographing something. It advises and drafts — you stay the one who decides. Included from the €19 plan, not held back for an enterprise tier.

chimney sweep software — questions

Does it issue sweep certificates?

No, and that is worth being blunt about. There is no HETAS, NACS or equivalent certificate template, and no submission to a scheme. What it keeps is the job record that stands behind one — date, time, who swept it, photos and notes. If a built-in certificate is the deciding feature, this is not the tool.

Can it bring last year’s customers back?

Yes. Repeat jobs are set up once and reappear when they are due, carrying the address, notes and price, so the autumn starts from a list rather than from memory.

Can I invoice at the door?

Yes. The invoice builds from the finished job and goes out by email or WhatsApp with your VAT number and rate on it. You record the payment against it yourself; there is no pay-now link for the customer yet.

Does it separate the season from the year?

Yes. Everything is dated, so you can look at September to January on its own and at the full twelve months alongside it.

How do jobs reach a second sweep?

Offer them and everyone free sees them at once; the first person takes each one. Overlapping jobs are refused with the reason.

Do I pay per sweep?

No. Seats are included in the plan.
