    Everything made easy

    Posted 4 days ago

    Had a new wood burner installed which also required additional works to make the space usable. Dutch was very efficient, clean and friendly and the quality of the workmanship was great!

    Wood burning stove

    Posted 10 March

    Dutch fitted a wood burning stove for me and I am really pleased with it. Dutch’s advice on what I needed for the space was invaluable. In terms of the fitting I was pleased overall, there were some unforeseen complications and Dutch communicated clearly with me and we were able to solve the issues promptly.

    Dutch fitted a Hobbit multi fuel wood burner after taking out an old fire box. He then had to make good to the whole surrounding area . Very professional job. Punctual and tidy .

    Good honest work

    Posted 10 March

    Dutch arrived when he said he would , this is very important to us . He worked very efficiently and was clean and tidy . We ended up with exactly what we had envisaged and what was promised and for the agreed price . Dutch was also a very pleasant person to talk with . We have no reservation recommending this company.

    Highly Recommended for Multi Fuel Stove Installation

    Posted 16 November 2025

    Dutch installed a Hobbit micro multi fuel stove into our formerly open fireplace. Beautiful workmanship, seemlessly organised scafolding, all delivered to schedule. Highly recommended.

    Great service

    Posted 16 October 2025

    Fantastic service - first time we had the chimney swept in a new house. Dutch was very professional - arrived early, worked quickly and left the place clean, no dust or dirt in sight. Will be using again next year.
