    Chimney Sweep

    Friendly, professional service.

    This was the first time that I used Step in Time for a sweep and service on my wood burner. They responded to my email and booked me in quickly, arrived when stated and carried out a thorough inspection and sweep. They charged exactly what they quoted, left no mess and Karl was a pleasure to deal with. Will definitely use next year. Thanks guys for a great service.
