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!!!

I was quoted ?75 for a standard terraced house chimney. Is this good ?

[brewski]

Thanks for your recommendations

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 pay ?40 for one chimney to be swept. I thought the price I was paying was fair. Hope that helps.

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.

[Melanie Weaver]

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

[Lowlander]

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.

I use Whites and I recommend them highly.

123 Chimney Sweeps were excellent - ?60, very reasonable. I would definitely use Alan again, lovely and polite and very efficient. His phone number is 07956 385 112.

[cakey]

I also used 123 Chimney Sweeps - lovely man, reasonably priced, came out on a saturday, polite and cleaned up after himself like you'd never know he'd been!

[MrsMc]

Another thumbs up for Alan Naish at 123. Very personable and no mess at all. Would highly recommend!

[roca]

Alan from 123 swept our chimney last week - he was very pleasant, got the job done quickly and left hardly a speck of dirt. I would definitely recommend him and will use him again.

[cathythomas]

I would also highly recommend Alan Naish. Turned up promptly at 7.30am, didn't leave any mess, a very pleasant helpful man. Will definitely use him again.

[GrahamP]

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.

[Lhell]

I would like to also recommend Alan at 123 Chimney Sweeps who was so quick, helpful and did a fantastic job. I don't think our chimneys had been swept for over 50 years and it must have been quite a challenge!
