The most common cause of a blocked chimney is a bird's nest. Birds, once they have chosen a chimney that takes there fancy, will continually drop twigs down the inside and watch until they see them wedge. This can be some feet or meters down. Once a nest has been successfully built it is quite usual for these birds to return year after year.
Due to the very nature of our business we spend quite a lot of our time out on the road. Some of our clients live in very rural areas of Kent, Essex and South Suffolk where it is sometimes hard to keep connected to the mobile phone network. Whilst we appreciate it can be very annoying not getting through to someone when you need them, our office line is always available outside of the hours listed below.
Over the past few years we have come across a vast array of chimney cowls and terminals. Some are factory made and others of the home made variety. A professionally made cowl or terminal is designed with a specific use in mind and should only be used for that use. One of the most commonly misused terminals is the Bonnet Insert or Half Round terminal as it is sometimes known.

I really can't recommend Clive enough. He was thorough, clean and professional. He arrived bang on time and he went above and beyond explaining things that were very helpful to me as a first time fireplace owner.

Clive has been looking after our stove and chimney for the last 5 years. A seriously nice guy who is passionate about the quality of his work and an absolute expert in his field. When booking this year's inspection and sweep I noticed that the baffle plate was looking a little worse for wear. Clive made a note of this and arrived with a replacement board to ensure the stove was in tip top order for this winter. I cant recommend Clive highly enough, is always a pleasure..

Clive was brilliant, very polite, professional and friendly. Fixed a problem I was having with my fire and cleaned my chimney, left the area very clean and tidy. Clive explained all aspects of the work to me and the virus protection measures he takes. I will be using this company again. Communication from Lorna was excellent too. I was able to pay by card using a portable machine which made it very convenient.

Clive arrived on time and carried out sweeping of our 2 fireplaces. The work was completed to the highest quality and surrounding areas spotlessly clean. Clive's quote for the work was competitive and we were charged as quoted. Will use again definitely! Thanks Clive!

Clive came and cleaned our chimney this afternoon. We knew there was a bird's nest up there which turned out to be huge and Clive removed it expertly. Absolutely no mess. Professional job and a registered sweep unlike some others who work locally. Clive was friendly and my 5 year old loved seeing the inside of the chimney as Clive was using a camera to check all was well. Definitely will be recommending and using again.

Clive arrived on time and carried out an extremely thorough sweeping of our 4 fireplaces and accompanying chimneys, two of which had completely blocked dampers, which required extra attention. The work was completed to the highest quality, with the fireplaces and surrounding areas spotlessly clean and in complete working order. Clive's quote for the work was competitive and we were charged as quoted – all correspondents between Clive and Lorna were prompt and professional – a pleasure to work with. Thanks Clive!

Overall I cannot fault the service from beginning to end, from liasing with the office to Clive completing the works at my house. Upon arrival Clive acted in a kind and courteous manner whilst remaining professional at all times. The works were completed to a high standard whilst we had a nice little chat and and a cup of coffee. As described on the website, it will be left as clean as it was found (if not cleaner in this case).
Will definitely use again and I highly recommend.
Thanks

We had our chimney swept this afternoon by Clive and have to say , we’re so pleased we did ! Such a professional and very educated in his craft - Clive took time to explain to us about best practice and use of the wood burner , went through all the safety measures and took time to explain all the health and safety procedures with us. On top of all that , Clive gave us a good history of his business and was really insightful , it was a pleasure talking to him and he was very generous with advice that I could implement in my own job , he gave us and my son beautiful little souvenirs at the end
