A 2013 Laconia Daily Sun article told the story behind Ye Olde Sweepes: Jim worked in forensics at NH Hospital and Lakes Region Community Services before turning to chimney sweeping and opening the business in 1991. That article called him well respected among New Hampshire's chimney sweeps. The Bristol, New Hampshire shop works on chimney and fireplace cleaning and maintenance, and takes on small masonry jobs — the pair of services its Better Business Bureau profile lists, at 36 years in business from the Timber Lane address. For an annual sweep and inspection, or for a crown and a few bricks that want patching, that is the work here. Ask what the inspection covers before booking, get the masonry portion scoped and priced in writing, and confirm insurance before the ladder goes up.
“Jim then successively worked in forensics at NH Hospital and Lakes Region Community Services, after which he climbed the ladder to become a chimney sweep and opened Ye Olde Sweepes in 1991. He was well respected in the chimney sweep community and was President of the NH Assoc. of Chimney Professionals.”
