Fantastic. Arrived ahead of schedule, super efficient and left everything so tidy. A thoroughly nice man to boot and great conversation. Will definitely be using again and I recommend to anyone looking for chimney service.
Had 4 chimneys swept that haven’t been done in ages. The guys were on time and polite and the service itself was clean and efficient with them getting them done in 2 hours. They provided us with the certificates and info on what chimneys were capped etc. Really pleased, thank you ☺️
Coady Phillips manage 100s of flats and houses and today was so pleased with finding this company who rescued a trapped bird from a chimney that after two hours of fireman trying remained trapped approaching the third day. They could not have been kinder and only charged £85, good old fashioned service in every way.
We had an excellent experience with Pearce & Son. Scott came to sweep our chimney after we’d had the external chimney stack removed, he was friendly, punctual and left everything clean and tidy after finishing up. He also gave us some tips about how to ventilate the chimney which were really appreciated.
We had a bird get trapped in our chimney - Scott was able to come out the same day and help rescue the bird and provide some cleaning to the chimney as well. They were efficient and professional, and we'll definitely be using them again.
Recommend Pearce and Sons chimney sweeps - quick response to my WhatsApp message and Scott was able to come out same day and rescue a magpie that was stuck in our chimney. We also had our chimney swept. Very quick, efficient and clean. Very interesting to hear about the history of the family business and also gave us some good advice and contacts for the capping of our chimney stack and future ideas for the fireplace. Thanks again
Scott was fantastic...efficient, friendly and very reasonable service. Cleared our chimney and got the poor pigeon, which had fallen down it, out without damage to the bird or our chimney! Thanks.
