    Was a pleasure as always to have Mike come round to sweep the chimney. Great communication via texts, pleasant person and incredibly tidy. Look forward to next year.

    Sweeping chimney

    Posted 6 days ago

    The service provided was thoroughly professional and to the highest standard. Mike Pistol was very polite, helpful and informative throughout his visit. Did a very good job of leaving everything neat and tidy. I wouldn’t hesitate to use his services again.

    Excellent clean and advice for the next year

    Posted 1 week ago

    Mike is always punctual and keeps you up to date with eta. The clean is thorough and he examines the soot and gives advice on what to use and how to maximise the log burner. He always leaves the room as he’s found it apart from the gifts of candles on the hearth. 100% recommend

    Annual sweep for wood burning stove

    Posted 16 April

    Mike has been looking after our stove since we had it installed in 2022. He’s completely reliable, we’ve already booked in for next year and wouldn’t think of using anyone else. He’s extremely clean and tidy and whilst we book in advance he’s great at sending reminders.

    Chimney Sweep

    Posted 16 April

    I have had the pleasure of dealing with Michael for a few years now. Always reliable! The communication is first class! A real honest, friendly person. Instead of insisting multiple cleans, he gave an honest appraisal of our Log Burner and recommended a 12 month clean (other companies wanted every 6 months). Always on time! So clean too! I cannot recommend Michael enough!
