We have used Chim-me-sweep for many years and have always found their service to be efficient and of a high quality. Robert is very approachable for advice and we’d recommend their service for anyone looking for a chimney sweep or any service relating to chimneys.

I have a large, cast-iron gas stove in my lounge that gets used about 20 times a year at maximum, so I assumed that my chimney would rarely need sweeping. For this reason it hadn't been done for 25 years and I began to feel it would be sensible to have it done again. I contacted several sweeps for prices and Mr Wallace's was the lowest - and he sounded the most authoritative. Unfortunately, he had to advise that, because of changed regulations, my stove would first have to be disconnected by a qualified Gas-Safe engineer and reconnected after the chimney was swept. (This was a service he could no longer offer because his qualification had lapsed because he did not work in the gas industry.) In order to use him I had to find a suitable gas engineer - which was a bit of a struggle - but I finally managed it. However, the engineer's price was nearly twice that of Mr Wallace and for a small fraction of the work. I arranged for the stove to be disconnected and for Mr Wallace to visit on the following day. He turned up 15 minutes early (Covid-masked) and got straight down to work, taking great care not to scratch the tiling when moving the stove. The lower chimney was swept quickly and he also opened up an exterior flue panel and swept the upper part of the chimney. All debris was removed without any escape of soot or dirt. He also advised how I should inspect the chimney - to see if I actually needed to call a sweep out. Sadly, I may not need to use him again!

Robert was very friendly, carried out the work quickly and gave us great advice for the next stage of our project. He gave us a best/worst case ranged quote and the final invoice was at the lower end of the scale. He came across as very hard working and honest.

Rob has been sweeping our chimneys for a good number of years now. I don't think the price has gone up yet! He is very reliable and incredibly clean - never any mess despite it being a messy job. Very happy to recommend him.

David, it was good hearing how happy you are with your new stove and how well the installers handed it over to you. Thank you for your review it is always good that you mention PPE and distancing as it gives confidence to customers who do not know us. Live Long and Stay Safe.

Rob swept both my chimneys and changed the rope on my wood burning stoves that had perished. He also advised me on the best placement for my carbon monoxide alarms. He was on time, dressed in PPE and was very professional. The stoves and hearths were spotless when he left. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him and will definitely use him again.

Decommissioning an old stove and chimney.
Customer Service

After noting that we had barely used our old log burner for several years, we made the decision to decommission our stove, and equally the associated Chimney. After speaking with Robert on the phone, he promptly made time for a site visit; and alongside understanding our desire to decommission our stove, it was equally reassuring to draw upon his in-depth knowledge and experience - especially after Robert noted several additional issues with our existing stove and chimney set up. As such, not only did Robert kindly provide both advice and guidance on how we could remove the stove and fireplace on our own (should we wish to save some money - which we did), Robert returned at a later date to complete some remedial work to the chimney stack, cap the chimney and equally give it one last sweep as part of the overall decommissioning. In summary, we found Robert to be punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and perhaps above all, professional. Consequently, we would highly recommend his services to any and all.

I found the details of this company at the HETAS website. Initial contact was made by telephone. The phone was answered promptly and politely. We had a brief discussion about the work needed scales of charging and an appointment was arranged at a mutually convenient time. On the arranged date Robert arrived punctually. He worked in a methodical and efficient way, completing the work within 30 minutes and leaving no mess. His friendly and knowledgeable manner inspires confidence. I have recommended the firm to a neighbour and expect to use the service again Spring.

Removing Woodburner

Needed my wood burner removed to retile the hearth, the company that installed it requested I do it myself, not thinking this was the best thing to do, I called around and found Robert from Chim-Me-Sweep, he offered advice on the phone and then came over the next day. He decommissioned the fire there and then, was very helpful, clean and explained what he had done and why. Very professional, accommodating and would definitely use him again. Highly recommended.
