How the visit is arranged

A free telephone consultation before the visit is available on request. The site also states that details submitted through the contact form are not passed to third parties and are used only for the chimney sweeping work.

Working approach

The business describes its manner of working as positive, honest and focused on solving problems, and frames the service around getting the best performance from a stove or fire rather than around the sweep alone.
