    Karl is both an excellent chimney sweep and a top bloke. Also fitted a cowl on the chimney for us. Both Karl and Katie are a delight to deal with. Highly recommended.

    Excellent Chimney Sweep Service

    Posted 28 April

    Really happy with the service. The chimney was cleaned thoroughly and checked over carefully. They made sure everything was safe and gave me the reassurance I needed to start using the fireplace. Professional, friendly, and efficient, I would definitely recommend them.
