yes but very little.
Chimney sweeps in Victorian times were often children and were paid very little, sometimes just a few pennies for a day's work. The work was dangerous and they were often mistreated and exploited by their employers.

The annual salary for chimney sweeps is close to $20,000 per year. Many of the people do not actually work full-time.
Chimney sweepers in Victorian times were typically paid very low wages, often just a few pennies per day, depending on the extent of the work. Many chimney sweepers were children who were exploited and paid significantly less than adults. The pay was insufficient to cover basic living expenses, leading to poor living conditions and widespread poverty among chimney sweepers.
Yes they did, but hardly any money. Around two to four shillings a week. Edit: ML
Chimney sweepers in the Victorian times were typically children who were paid very little, often just a few pennies per job. They worked in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, climbing up chimneys to clean them. This practice was eventually outlawed due to concerns for child welfare.
A chimney sweep in the Victorian Era got paid about 10 Shillings in Europe. Less than a dollar in the United States. The chimney sweep himself did very little work. Boys that were small enough, sometimes as young as four, would be trained to do the chimney sweep's job because of the tight spaces. The boys were paid very little and very often got sick with cancer from the fumes.
