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

    • Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.
    • That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?
    • Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
