Hi

We've had 123 Chimnney Sweeps around today and I was very pleased with his service. The chap's name is Alan, 020 8668 9914, 07956 385112, check out his website, they've been going since the 1870's! Very friendly and tidy and lots of advice if you need it. Definitely recommended.

Phil from Mr. Jolly was great. Really knowledgable (we just moved into this flat and knew nothing about wood-stoves or the care of them - he was really informative along with cleaning our chimney!). I recommend his service. (thanks to David, the ED Forum member who suggested him to us!)

Give 1.2.3 Chimney Sweeps a call on 020 8668 9914 or check out their web site wwww.123chimneysweeps.co.uk

Our family have used them in south London for donkeys years I've recommended him before on EDF and others highly recommend him, his names Alan Naish and there's nothing he doesn't know about chimneys!!!

We too used 123 Chimney Sweeps - Alan Naish - last week, very helpful, polite and clean. Knows his stuff!


Whoever you go for just make sure they're a member of one of the chimney sweep assocations.


Now, where best in ED to buy smokeless or real coke? I picked up a 10kg bag of smokeless from the firestation on Old Kent Road, at ?8 - no idea if that's reasonable?

I've just had Alan round from 1.2.3. Chimney Sweeps, and just in time too judging by the amount of soot that came out of the chimney. He was excellent. No mess, quick, friendly and left a certificate with an analysis of the state of the chimney. Get's my recommendation.

Alan sorted out my chimney too - he did a great job and gave me lots of helpful advice. I'd never had a log burning stove before and was a bit afraid of it! He charged ?40 and it was worth every penny. I'll definitely use him again. His phone number is 079 56 38 51 12

Ah, thread resurrection. If anyone read my old post wondering where to buy cheap coal, I ended up using CPL (search coals2u); ?15 for ?25kg of Homefire smokeless. Minimum order was ?50 and they deliver bagged or unbagged to your shed/coal bunker/garage.


Marginally cheaper than the petrol stations but worth it for the delivery alone. Probably less damp as well.

Alan Naish visited me this morning and swept my chimney prior to installation of a stove.


As well as doing a thorough job, he gave me plenty of useful advice which will save me a lot in the near future.


He commented about how busy he gets just before Christmas so maybe it's best to contact him during the summer, his quieter period. That's my plan anyway!


Another very satisfied customer.

On the above recommendations I used 123 Chimney Sweeps this morning. Alan was punctual, pleasant, clean and tidy and did a thorough job, pointing out crumbling mortar and gave useful advice as well as an accredited certificate. A good company.


I would recommend and use again.

    • I had this same query the other week - Mediquip no longer cover Southwark and I believe the company when bankrupt? Anyway, after some digging, I found the news on the adult social care page of Southwark Council website.  The new supplier of medical equipment that is issued to Southwark residents via an OT from the council or the NHS is Provide Equipment Hub.  I emailed them about returning two items and they did promptly respond and came and picked up the items the following week.  Email them at [email protected] Importantly, they will come and do urgent repairs of equipment like hospital beds.  I'm surprised that Southwark haven't made this change more widely known as it will impact many vulnerable residents.

    • Hello East Dulwich families 👋 I wanted to introduce myself to the community. I’m a professional family & wedding photographer with 14+ years of experience, and I split my time between the US and London throughout the year. I’ll be based in London for the coming weeks and would love to photograph more local families here in East Dulwich. My approach is very relaxed and natural — no stiff posing, no pressure — just real connection, movement, and the beautiful everyday moments that tell your family’s story. I work especially well with kids and parents who feel “awkward” in front of the camera (which honestly is most of us!). Sessions can take place at home, in the park, on your favourite street, or anywhere that feels meaningful to you. The goal is to create images that feel like your life — not a photoshoot. If anyone has been thinking about documenting this season with their children, I’d love to connect, answer questions, or simply share examples of my work. No pressure at all — just happy to be here and meet some neighbours. You can see my work here: https://bluesparkphotography.com/family/ (use the contact page on the site to send me a message if you're interested!).
