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.
Chimney sweep children were not typically paid a fixed wage, as they were usually apprentices or part of their family's business and thus did not earn a salary. Instead, they often received shelter, food, and possibly clothing in exchange for their work. Many children were exploited and forced into this dangerous job to help support their families.
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.
Six pence a day
yes but very little.
The annual salary for chimney sweeps is close to $20,000 per year. Many of the people do not actually work full-time.

One can purchase a Street Sweeper shotgun from a class III weapons dealer. A tax of $200.00 must be paid when purchasing and you must have a weapons permit.
Yes they did, but hardly any money. Around two to four shillings a week. Edit: ML
In the UK, laws were passed in the mid-19th century to abolish child labor in hazardous industries such as chimney sweeping. The Chimney Sweepers Act of 1875 made it illegal for children under the age of 21 to be apprenticed into chimney sweeping. This effectively ended the practice of child chimney sweeps.
