chimney sweep needed

Recommended Posts

We just had Alan from 123chimneysweeps.co.uk round, he did a really thorough job. There is a section of our fireplace only accessible by removing a panel that we didn't even know was moveable (the previous chimney sweep hadn't bothered or didn't know about it) which Alan showed us and cleaned. I totally recommend him, phone number is 07956385112

Alan fron 123 Chimneys cleaned my chimney last week. (0208 668 9914). Lovely guy, 3rd generation sweep so knows what he's talking about! Very punctual, clean and tidy, hardly needed to even dust the fireplace afterwards! Highly recommended. He told me that lots of people leave it a bit late to book a clean and his busiest times are Sept-Dec, so if you can remember try getting your chimney cleaned then so it's ready for winter.

Alan from 123 Chimney Sweeps swept one of our chimneys yesterday and he did a great job removing a huge amount of debris with no mess whatsoever. I was also impressed with his honesty, he talked himself out of work by saying that there was no benefit to sweeping two other chimneys i wanted him to clean saving me ?120.
Who'd believe there were still so many chimney Sweeps around! When we moved into our house at the end of October, we had four chimneys (one being a stove) swept by Aardvark Sweeps - 07523938035. They came at short notice and did the job with little evidence of them ever having been there. Which was pretty incredible as one chimney was blocked and 3 sacks of soot was removed! I was dreading having this done, thinking about the mess, but I couldn't have been more wrong. A great company - 100% recommended!

We'd also like to add in a very positive review for Alan at 123 Chimney Sweeps. We are new to the area and weren't sure if our fire was a working one, but he investigated it all and did a great job. He was extremely thorough, was very knowledgable and tidied everything away in a jiffy. We'll definitely be giving him a call next year. Lovely chap too. Give him a call! 020 8668 9914 or 07956385112.

I had Aardvark Sweeps around today. We used them last year and got them back again to open up a boarded up fireplace and to sweep the chimney in preparation for the intended installation of a woodburning stove. I have to say, Gary was impeccable in doing this quickly and cleanly. Amazing since there was 3 sacks of soot taken away! Also, good advice on the sort of stove to go for and where to find them - a really good local service. Straightforward to deal with, contact info on their website. Aardvarksweeps.co.uk

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
