I called this company for the annual chimney clear out, as a friend had used them. Very pleased from start to finish with the services provided. A full sweep of the chimney, fire safety and carbon monoxide advice passed on, and certification for the work undertaken. A very professional, clean and prompt service. We will be using this company every year going forward, and more than happy to recommend to others.

We have used Alec for four years now to sweep our chimney to keep our wood burner in tip top condition and we couldn’t wish for a more professional service. He is very thorough & professional and also, importantly, a really nice guy. We absolutely would (and do) recommend him to everyone!
Services: Chimney cleaning, Chimney flue cleaning, Chimney inspections

I have used "Swept Away" for a number of years now. There are a number of reasons I keep using Alec. The obvious ones being that he is clean and thorough. Also though, he is knowledgeable and will freely give advice. I live in a Victorian house with multiple chimneys and he advised on the use of chimney balloons or chimney sheep to cut down on heat loss from unused chimneys. What a difference it made!
I also had a flue that was incorrectly fitted to my woodburner that I was unaware of. Alec explained why it was incorrect, provided a new flue section and fitted it too.
I would thoroughly recommend

Where to start? We’re all living in very strange times at the moment, so much so that my elderly grandparents are yet to really leave the house. I cannot give Alec enough credit for the care and precaution he took upon entering their home, and for understanding their fear after being shut away for months with nowt for company but the 10 o’clock news. They both felt very safe, had a lovely chat and above all the service was top notch, as always:):)Whatever happens they’ll be enjoying their wood burner throughout the winter yet again, Thankyou very much Alec, you’re a star:)

Alec is very professional. He always turns up on time and does an extremely thorough job. There is never any mess left and he charges a reasonable price for the job. It’s so nice to know we have a reliable chimney sweep that we can use every year.

From the second I spoke to Alec on the phone to book having our chimney swept, to the second he left following the job, I have nothing but the highest praise for Alec and Swept Away Chimney Services.
Alec is both highly professional and personable – a really nice bloke. Firstly, I had no Covid 19 issues about letting Alec into our home. His risk assessment, on-line advice and precautions prior to entering and whilst in the property were amongst the best I have encountered from a contractor.
Alec’s knowledge of his trade is outstanding. Not only relating to the actual cleaning and future maintenance

We have had Alec sweeping our long, slightly bendy stainless steel flue for about 5 years now. Before then I struggled to find someone who could manage it. It was such a relief to find Alec - he has all the latest equipment and really knows what he's doing! His communication is good and he is friendly and efficient. I recommended him to all my neighbours who now also use him!
