What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Hale and the surrounding Liverpool area, Mike has built a reputation through chimney sweeping that customers describe in consistently warm terms. More than one review highlights his professionalism, punctuality and the tidy way he leaves a property once the work is finished, with several noting that no mess remains after a sweep.

The use of a camera to show the inside of the flue and cowl comes up often, with customers appreciating being able to see the condition of the liner and how much soot has been removed, particularly after a first winter of stove use. His knowledge and willingness to explain what he is doing, and why, feature in many accounts, as does his honesty when a fire or liner needs attention beyond a routine clean.

Chimney sweeping, stove and flue cleaning, inspections and the removal of debris or blockages are the services most frequently described, alongside one occasion when he rescued a pigeon from a chimney breast. Customers value his friendly manner and the reminders sent when a sweep is next due, and his care when dealing with problem properties is mentioned. A recurring point is the peace of mind the work brings before another season of burning.

Mike came out and did a sweep and inspection of my stove after moving into property a couple of years back. He talked me through each stage and did a thorough inspection for me. Very professional, and left place immaculate afterwards. Will definitely be using Mike again and recommend to anyone. Thanks Mike

Great service from Mike. I unfortunately had a nightmare tenant In my property after eviction I had the unfortunate discovery of seeing my fire. Let's just say I didn't think I'd ever get the opportunity to light it again. It was covered in melted plastic and god knows what else. I called Mike and he was really friendly and punctual. Unfortunately on further inspection from Mike my concerns were confirmed and we had to remove the fire. Although Mike was unable to save this one I really appreciated his honest input and break down of costs involved if I chose to try save it. The decoration I made was the right one especially for a rental property, Mike then helped remove the fire allowing me to maybe add an electric alternative. Thanks Mike, and thank you for your follow up call this evening to check I was ok it was really thoughtful of you. 5 Star service

We recently used this chimney sweep for a full sweep and inspection on our log burner, and we couldn’t be happier with the service. He is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to explain everything clearly, giving us complete peace of mind. What really stood out was his honesty—it is so refreshing to deal with someone who genuinely cares about doing the right thing for their customers rather than just trying to upsell. More than anything, he did a remarkably neat, tidy, and professional job. There wasn't a speck of soot left behind! If you want someone reliable, honest, and meticulous, we highly recommend his services. We will definitely be using him again!

Mike did a fantastic job of sweeping the chimneys for both my gas fire and a log burner. All work was carried out very professionally, and everywhere was left so clean and tidy, very reasonably priced too. He is very knowledgeable about fires and chimneys, so you can ask his advice which is great, he’s more than happy to help. Thanks Mike

I got in touch with Mike after discovering a suspected pigeon stuck in the chimney breast. Mike was very helpful on the phone and offered his advice. He attended the next day to rescue the pigeon and sweep out the chimney. He was very knowledgeable, professional and friendly. Thank you for your help. Zoe

Mike arrived on time and was professional, friendly and most of all he did an amazing job cleaning our chimney. What was supposed to be a “normal job” turned out to have one or two unexpected blockages (builders bricks, mortar and a load of twigs)! Mike took this in his stride and cleared the blockage with the minimum of mess. I couldn’t be happier with final result and would highly recommend Mike and his service.
