A very thorough and professional service. Highly recommended.
Excellent service from Nick. He was friendly and helpful. He arrived on time and swept the chimney thoroughly. Nick also spotted that the flue had not been properly sealed by the original installer and took the time to fix and seal it correctly with fire cement. He then cleaned the stove glass, polished the stove and tested everything to make sure the smoke was drawing correctly up the flue and out through the chimney. Everything was left clean and tidy, and Nick provided the required certificate on completion.Verified reviewerJob location: RH510 Chimney Sweep

Great service from a lovely gentleman
Nick was an absolute dream. Polite, professional and a font of knowledge when it comes to all things fireplaces. He used a drone to check the chimney and then carried out a sweep with zero mess. Would highly recommend and will definitely be using again.Verified reviewerJob location: KT11
