    This is the second time that Karl has swept our log burner! He has good knowledge of different types of log burners and was thorough and checked each stage of sweep. He gave advice on what log type to burn and how to maintain a good burn,. I can honestly say his knowledge and due care has made a difference to our winter comfort!

    I had excellent service from this company. Karl came on time, by appointment, and kept me well informed about the progress and pricing of the job. He found a substantial birds nest blocking the chimney, which he was able to show my using a scope. This was fully removed, and he left the hearth and room clean and tidy. Later, I was able to seek advice about how best to deal with the draft from the flue. He emailed me a completed certificate of chimney sweeping.

    First time having our log burner swept, found step in time on google and couldn’t be happier. Turned up when they said, very clean and quick. Great with dogs and just a nice guy. Highly recommend.
