Simply put our business is to sweep and test chimneys in and around Exeter. With no vested interest in your chimney maintenance decisions, we only sweep and advise using a blend of the latest CCTV and sweeping technology with high quality customer service. This keeps us objective and means that any advice we give is not clouded by a conflict of interest. Our mission is to ensure you have a reliable, efficient and enjoyable heat source. Be it a lined or unlined multi-fuel stove, woodburner, boiler, biomass, pellet, Rayburn, AGA or similar and, of course, an open fire.

My name is Jonathan. I'm old enough to remember there being only three TV channels, and live in Exeter, a city and area I love. Usually I will have Harry our cocker spaniel with me. He's happy to stay in the van but loves to meet people! I am qualified in all aspects of sweeping, with thousands of hours of hands-on sweeping experience. A full member of APICS and a HETAS Approved Chimney Sweep, this shows I meet the rigorous standards demonstrated through practical tests and assessments. I love what I do; it's a delight to visit people's homes and businesses to make sure their chimneys are swept and safe to use - and I will be on time, and I won't make a mess!

The oldest Chimney Sweep business in Exeter, started by Harry Best back in 1954 then run by Mark Best and now Jonathan and Harry the sweeping spaniel.

We love the Chimneys of Exeter in all shapes and sizes and frequently help people who want to open up their fireplace with CCTV and Pressure Testing of their chimneys as well as being specialists for bird nest removal.

Very professional service, right from making the booking to leaving site. Jonathan really understands that it is your home, and does a first rate.

Jonathan did a great job, he was prompt and was extremely clean and tidy. He even put the furniture back for me after. Would definitely recommend.

First time using a chimney 'sweep': Jonathan was friendly, professional, fast and efficient. Would highly recommend him. We will continue to use.

Excellent service, on time, Covid secure, clean, email reminder and invoice for online payment. I had booked to clean two chimneys, Jonathon checked that he had time before his next appointment and managed to fit in a third, all straight forward but I did appreciate his effort to accommodate me.

Excellent service and full report on the condition of the chimneys. Will certainly use again and I will make sure that I book well in advance next time.

Jonathan replaced our rusted Chimney cowl. My husband asked if he could take some pictures while he was on the roof which he was happy to do. Always a great service from Jonathan.
