Old Mill Chimneys has built a loyal following in the Glasgow area through work that ranges from chimney sweeping and flue cleaning to stove installation, liner fitting and the renewal of chimney pots. Several customers describe having dealt with the team for years, often since their original stove was fitted, and reviewers repeatedly mention the annual reminder that keeps the sweep booked without the seasonal rush.

Punctuality is a recurring theme, with the crew often arriving early and completing the task efficiently and cleanly, leaving no mess behind. Communication comes up often too, with emails and questions answered promptly and advice given before work begins. Named members of staff, including Glen, Wendy and Stuart, are praised for their friendliness and practical thinking, and one account describes Glen suggesting a money-saving solution during ongoing renovation work.

The same team has also been called on for unusual jobs, such as freeing a bird from a chimney and fitting a cap afterwards. Customers note the care taken with equipment, including a Salamander Hobbit stove that was left spotless, and the reassurance of being able to reach someone by phone afterwards. Knowledge of stoves and flues, combined with a respectful and flexible approach, is the thread running through the feedback.
