I use traditional brushes which are handmade in the UK and designed to be safe on your chimney's lining. I also use a powerful, HEPA filtration, dust extraction system to help ensure mess is kept to an absolute minimum whilst in your home.

I have links with first rate, local companies and am happy to recommend services including quality firewood stockists and reputable stove specialists/installers.
Chimney Sweep
At the right temperature, soot, tar and creosote can ignite which is why it is vitally important to have your chimney swept by a competent sweep who uses the correct equipment and cleans the entire length of the flue system. Chimney fires can spread quickly through your home putting property, livelihoods and your loved ones in danger.
Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer: it has no colour, taste or smell. Even low levels of Carbon Monoxide can lead to permanent ill-health or death, especially in children. The early symptoms of Carbon Monoxide poisoning can easily be mistaken for 'flu. They include nausea, headaches, tiredness, dizziness and pains in the stomach or chest. Look out for sooting or staining around your appliance: it is a sign of inadequate venting of gases.
It is vital that appliances are properly installed and serviced and have sufficient ventilation. I also strongly recommend the installation of a Carbon Monoxide detector in your home.
Pricing
Standard sweep £60 (maximum duration of one hour per chimney).
If I do run into any problems and extra work is necessary then an additional £25 per half hour is charged. You will be notified beforehand if this is likely to be the case.
Examples of a non-standard sweep include removal of bird nests, removal of heavy deposits of soot due to lack of regular sweeping, sweeping of unlined stoves where access is gained through a register plate which requires cleaning.
