    Two redundant upstairs fireplaces cleaned.

    Posted 24 May

    David swept two fireplaces with efficiency and tidiness. He also freed two nesting birds - an unexpected surprise for all concerned! David provided advice on using balloons to block the chimneys and installing cowls to prevent birds nesting. All in all, an excellent service.

    Very responsive and well priced, came to clean our chimney within 24hours to remove a blockage from an old birds nest. We had just moved in and were very grateful for the help and would highly recommend.

    Kay is very quick to respond with clear communications throughout. Dave is punctual, courteous, experienced and a consummate professional. ‘The Sweep’ is in my diary to be commissioned again next year!
