A lovely man who was very professional and knowledgeable. He worked efficiently and cleanly. We are moving house that’s why we needed him. We have a log burner at our new house so already got him lined up to chimney sweep our new burner. Cannot recommend him enough he was brilliant.

Greg has been to ours 2 years in a row to sweep our chimney and we are very impressed by his professionalism, quality of work and how tidy he leaves the place. We have him booked in every year and highly recommend him if you're looking for an honest and reliable chimney sweep. Thanks Greg for your great work!

Greg does a thorough job. Has well as cleaning the chimney he checks that the wood burner is working efficiently. No mess at all. He protects the floors from the entry door to the fire and ensures he leaves everything spotless. We use Greg’s service every year and have always had 5* results. Highly recommend. Reasonably price.

Col was very efficient and friendly. I had a burner with poor draw for years that other sweeps have just cleaned and moved on. Col investigated properly, found a major contributing factor and put a fix in place. Good burner draw can be affected by many things so it’s not necessarily a silver bullet, but I’m confident that when we have our guest fire off the season in a few weeks that it will have improved. 👍

Great Service, really thorough. Very happy with the job Greg did. No mess & everything was clean & tidy. He also gave me some helpful advice on how best to look after my chimneys with it being an older property.

Used Greg @ colthesweep for the second year running. Impeccable service yet again. Professionally set up to keep the customer informed throughout the booking process and courtesy call up front on the day to give an ETA. House kept immaculate, no mess at all and no high pressure sales techniques to upsell other products / services. Highly recommended and will continue to use.

Excellent service, clean, tidy and very knowledgable. We have been using another chimney sweep for the last 3 years but won’t be going back due to the quality of work and care put into cleaning our wood burner and levelling it out after one of the legs came unbalanced.

I can't recommend Greg highly enough. Not a speck of dust left behind after a very thorough sweep of my chimney and full dismantling and cleaning of my stove. He is also a very nice bloke who is happy to offer advice and answer questions. The company I had previously used could learn a lot from Greg.

Just had Greg out to sweep our woodburning stove. Called ahead to say he was on his way. No mess left, very polite and friendly. Even resealed our flue where the sealant had cracked. Will certainly have him out again in future and would recommend to others. Thank you!

Greg came out yesterday to sweep our open fire and log burner. He was very knowledgeable and gave us some excellent advice. He used dust sheets throughout and the work was of an exceptionally high quality. There was absolutely no mess left at all. Greg is thoroughly professional, kind and courteous. A great service for a great price.
