Can’t recommend Howard highly enough. Came into what was a messy unlined chimney that didn’t have the best access points and as a result hadn’t been done for some time. Not only did he do a decent job, there was little mess and he went out his way to install a new hatch so that there isn’t the same issues in future. Really happy with the job he did.

Howard is extremely professional and knowledgeable about his work. He gave great advice about how to get the most out of our stove. We will definitely be using his chimney sweep services again in the future!

Fabulous service, called at the last minute as we had a bird trapped somewhere in our woodburner; Howard was more than happy to attend. We thought we had one trapped bird in our chimney, safely rescued!....then Howard discovered a second bird, both jackdaws...both safely rescued....after a huge amount of effort. Amazing service and excellent prices, quality and service! Recommend 100% 🙂
