A bird stuck in your chimney?

“Alex came out at short notice and did a wonderful job rescuing a bird that had become trapped in our chimney. He safely removed the bird along with all the twigs it had collected, which was such a relief. Alex is extremely knowledgeable and professional. He also serviced our wood stove and cleaned both the glass and the inside so thoroughly that it looks almost new again. Fantastic service from start to finish — we will definitely be using him again and highly recommend him to others.”

“I contacted Alex having purchased an 1800s property with debris falling onto the existing electric heater from the chimney. Alex was quick to respond to the request, arrived at the time agreed and provided a wealth of knowledge and useful tips as well as doing a a great job (including the clean after) at a very reasonable price. I cannot recommend him enough!”

“Alex swept our chimney after we removed the old gas fire. He's extremely knowledgeable and gave us some very helpful information about how we could choose to use the fireplace in the future. He was quick, friendly, efficient, well priced and very clean. Everything you want from a good sweep!”
