Chimney sweeps primarily worked for homeowners, businesses, and various establishments that required their chimneys to be cleaned and maintained. Historically, many chimney sweeps were employed by wealthy families or large institutions, as proper chimney maintenance was essential for fire safety and efficient heating. In some cases, especially during the 18th and 19th centuries, child labor was prevalent in this profession, with young boys often hired due to their small size and ability to navigate tight flues.

Chimney sweeps work in dangerous, filthy conditions. One can imagine they would need a good deal of "luck" not to fall or become ill or suffer other disasters. Yet as chimney sweeps clearly survived for years and trained their children in the trade, it came to be thought that their prosperity had to be due to luck as opposed to skill or intelligence. By encouraging that belief, chimney sweeps could add mystique and a bit of glamor ... and perhaps a bit more profit ... to an otherwise wretched job.
