Hi! I’m Toby. Founder, head sweeper and chief pedal-pusher at Pedal & Sweep. I started this business with a simple goal: to help keep your chimneys safe and clean without puffing extra pollution into the environment. How? I swap the usual van for a trusty cargo bike, brushing up chimneys and my carbon footprint at the same time!

You’ll see me pedalling through the city’s streets, tools in tow, looking a bit like Dick Van Dyke (without the Van) - but don’t let the bike fool you! I’m fully equipped to tackle everything from traditional open fireplaces to modern wood burners.

Why the bike?

Cambridge is perfect for cycling, and let’s be honest, do we really need more vans clogging up the roads and the air? By choosing pedal power…

I reduce carbon emissions with every sweep.
I avoid traffic, and don’t need to worry about finding somewhere to park, so I’m more likely to be on time.
I make less noise and take up less space on your street.

Who do I work with?

Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, tenant or just someone who loves the sound of a crackling fire, I’ve got you covered. I’m fully insured, professional, and always happy to explain what I’m doing without too much chimney-speak.
