Job - log burner flue cleaning and replacement of rope vents Great care and time was taken to complete the job with a smart finish. On time, professional, knowledgeable and covid secure. We really appreciated Richard taking his time to give our log burner and flue a bit of love. He was super clean and tidy, which was especially welcomed considering we have such an impractical cream hearth and light grey carpet and sofa. Thank you

Your friendly, local chimney engineer.

Keep your home safe. Sit back and relax!

Ensure that your home is safe and that you comply with your household insurance by having your chimney swept at least once a year.

I offer a clean and efficient service across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire and Berkshire. Call now for a quotation for your fireplace.

I will ask a few questions to be able to offer you a competitive and accurate price including the size of the fireplace and an approximate age of your home. This will help me to know how long it might take to properly protect around your fireplace before carrying out your chosen service.

If your wood burning stove is needing some TLC after working hard for you over the winter I also offer a thorough service of all seals, glass and firebricks, recommending if any replacements are required or whether they may be due at the time of your next service. Depending on use, firebricks may need replacing every 5 or so years.

I have access to spares for most well known stoves including Charnwood, Clearview, Woodwarm, Stovax, Rais, Burley, Hunter and Villager.

I have experience in every home, from Victorian terraces to new properties, twin wall flues to Cotswold stone.
