I can add my recommendation for Alan at 1-2-3 Chimney Sweeps. Alan did my chimney this morning. He was punctual and did a very thorough job, with a thorough clean up leaving no mess behind. He was also very helpful in explaining what he was doing as he went through the process, and offering advice on using the fireplace.

Alan at 1-2-3 chimney sweeps has done our chimneys three years in a row now and the service has been consistently first class. Not a speck of dust anywhere when he leaves. He does get busy so don't leave it too late in the year. Looking forward to having two fireplaces for open fires this winter.

Listen, forget the rest - Alan at 123 chimney sweeps is the best. No fuss, no mess, charming personality, family business, good price... an honest guy that will also give you advice on whether to bother paying ?1000 to get your chimney lined. You get some trades that will say extras are necessity and put you on to their mates - not this chap.


bring on the winter!

I would highly recommend 123 Chimney sweep, had to wait a few weeks to get him but he has been to our house this morning. He arrived on time, was very clean and also very informative. Will be using him again next year. 020 8668 9914 or 07956385112

Hi,

Again I would also recommend Alan from 123 Chimney Sweep. He is courteous and punctual- and carefully and tidily cleans our chimney! We worked out that father and son had been coming to clean our chimneys for over 20 years! They do open fire chimneys as well as wood burning stoves.


Contact number 020 8668 9914.

    • Thanks  for the reminder nellie. Have today received two letters dated February 2024. Heading down to Highshore Road tomorrow to see if there's anything for us. I'm getting obsessive about missing/late arriving bills since having our phone and broadband cut off when we hadn't received (so hadn't paid) a bill from BT that had been posted to us. I now keep a note in my diary of when the various utility bills are expected, and phoning them when I think something is due, invariably they say the bill has been sent out. It shouldn't be so hard.
    • He’ll need to apply to building control if he’s removing a chimney breast, as that has to be signed off once the work is done. Make sure the joists for your floor are extended to full width of the room once the chimney breast is removed. Ours weren’t (by the previous owner when they removed the chimney breast in the kitchen) and the floor above was dipping by a few inches. 
    • Chimney breast removal definitely requires party wall agreement and if yours above is not being removed it will require steels to support the chimney breast above.  You should consult your own party wall surveyor and serve notices on your neighbour and they will be liable for the cost of your surveyor.  Also worth contacting the southwark building regs inspector for advice as removing a load bearing wall also requires steels to support the walls above and will require building regs. Has your neighbour shown you the plans to show how they are going to support your walls above?
    • I live in a flat. My downstairs neighbour is having various work done including: Chimney breast removal (mine would stay) Internal wall removal (it's a supporting wall and mine is above) Knocking down of external walls that support mine and adding extension. He says his surveyor said this doesn't need a party wall survey because we don't share any party walls. Three surveyors I spoke to said the chimney breasts at a minimum do (party structure). Is there specific law I can quote on this? And if not, what do I do next? (Flats are leasehold, he has permission from them for external work, not sure about internal). He doesn't have council planning consent for the chimney or internal walls.
