Services
Chimney Sweep
Regular chimney sweeping removes dangerous soot and creosote buildup, preventing chimney fires and carbon monoxide leaks. Our certified sweeps use professional equipment to clean all fuel types, including wood, coal, and gas. Each service includes a smoke draw test and Chimney Safety Certificate for insurance compliance.
Birds Nest Removal
Professional removal of bird nests from chimneys and flues ensures safe ventilation and prevents fire hazards. We inspect for structural damage post-removal and provide prevention advice. Our team handles nests in open fires, stoves, and inglenooks with minimal disruption to property.
Cowl Fittings
Installation of solid fuel, gas, and oil-specific cowls enhances chimney safety and efficiency. Cowls prevent water ingress, bird entry, and debris accumulation while maintaining optimal flue performance. We supply and fit durable cowls tailored to your heating system requirements.
Disused Chimney Caps
Sealing disused chimneys prevents weather damage, bird nesting, and heat loss. Our solutions include waterproof capping systems that maintain structural integrity while improving energy efficiency. This service protects properties from dampness and costly repairs caused by unsealed chimneys.
Wedding Sweeps
Chimney sweeps provide traditional good luck services for weddings, rooted in historical royal customs. Our sweeps attend ceremonies to shake hands with the groom and offer the bride a lucky kiss, continuing the centuries-old tradition associated with fertility and fortune.

Report
David removed a pigeon from our chimney on bank holiday weekend after we called him the previous evening. Work was completed quickly and no mess was left at all. He was extremely polite and great with our very inquisitive son. We would highly recommend his services and will be having him back soon to install our log burner.
