Sweeping royal fireplaces

5:56

Kensington Palace

5:56

Windsor Castle and high grve so uh quite

5:59

a special lot of good jobs I look after

6:02

they also do the kitchen at Hampton

6:04

Court Palace it's the largest fireplace

6:06

in England and burns every day of the

6:08

year except for three days Christmas and

6:10

twice a year when Kevin comes to clean

6:12

it we have to go after hours cuz we

6:15

close the whole room off so the only way

6:17

that I can sweep Hampton Court Palace is

6:19

to climb up the chimney and I literally

6:21

disappear in there for about 2 hours my

6:23

clothes are filthy and you can see a

6:26

little black mark all the way around

6:28

here where obviously it was the S was

6:30

trying to get through sweeping chimneys

6:32

at the Royal palaces it's like being

6:35

part of a family I've been there for 20

6:37

years now so it is a very special family

6:39

that we all work around to make certain

6:42

that the king is okay and we are very

6:45

proud to do so Kevin's an expert in his

6:47

field but he's also turning an eye to

6:49

the future I can't sweep forever but I

6:52

will sweep for as long as I can the job

6:54

itself means everything to me I've been

6:57

so proud that you know everybody is so
