In Germany they are sort of authority not only for cleaning but for chimney and combustion plant verification and certification of the installed instances. Typically you will have no choice, the whole country is divided into sweeping districts with one sweeper for each district (they've been monopolies by law until 2012), and you will have to have your stoves and chimneys and boilers and smoke tubes etc. controlled periodically by "your" sweeper... cheers, Martin
