I had a bird up my chimney trying to nest.Jimmy gave me advice over the phone.Then gave me a price to cover the chimney.Came Saturday morning very efficient and professional at a good price thanks.
I get my working chimney cleaned by Jimmy once every 2 or 3 years and he's always done a fantastic job. Very professional, very experienced, and always treats the area he's working in with care! Also hired Jimmy put up a few chimney caps/cowls (at very reasonable prices), they are all holding up well.
Thank you Jimmy, you were fantastic yesterday and have sorted our 4 year old battle with different roofers who couldn't find the leak in the chimney, despite none of them looking at the pots and flaunching. Considering it has rained constantly since last evening, not one drop of water, it was almost unsettling last night hearing the rain hit the windows, but not hearing the annoying drip from the back bedroom. Thank you, you are a shining example of how tradesmen should be and most of all, you listened to us and advised accordingly.
I called JImmy for my chimney to be swept. Gave my a good price. Arranged a date. Very a flexible. He arrive with all equipment. Lay blankets down. Here for about 40 minutes. Left the house tidy. He also provides a certificate when done the job. Jimmy is a friendly polite man. He is not to be missed. Thank you. See you soon
Had Jimmy out today for standard chimney sweep at end of burning season. Fantastic job 10/10. Friendly and cheerful and didn't mind the girls watching! Zero mess and top job for decent price. Very impressed and will absolutely be using him again and telling others about him! Thank you Richard
Jimmy has just got our log burner going again after we were told by our regular sweep that it couldn't be unclogged until the summer. Very professional and friendly service. And at a fair price. Will definitely be using him again and recommending him to all our friends and family. Nice one.
We had Jimmy to clean our chimney this week and we’re delighted with the service. He is is a nice friendly chap with a lovely confident approach and did a first rate job with no mess at all. Would definitely recommend him and will use him again!
