How I work

stove

I provide a comprehensive and thorough chimney sweeping service for domestic flue systems. Whether your property is historic, thatched, or modern, I take the utmost care inside your home.  I triple sheet to protect carpets and flooring, using the most effective ways to contain soot and debris in your fireplace or stove. I use an industrial HEPA filter vacuum to prevent any dust getting back into your house. With attention to detail, I aim to leave your property looking better than when I started. As part of the chimney sweep service I provide, I clean both domestic to remove the build-up of soot and tar using the most effective techniques either manual with a brush and rods or power sweeping. I will select what is right for your chimney to ensure the service is carried out swiftly and to a high standard. Completing my comprehensive service, I also smoke test every chimney after sweeping and carry out inspections. For more in-depth analysis I am able to use CCTV to survey the entire inside of the chimney. 

​

I use both manual brush and rods or rotary power sweeping if required. Once your chimney flue system has been cleaned and checked I smoke test and issue an industry approved certificate, which will validate your household insurance. Any issues can be discussed, and I'm happy to quote for any work to be carried out. I do not install stoves or fireplaces, but I can provide independent unbiased advice and will only recommend the best local trades people. I am happy to talk with my customers and offer them free advice on burning methods, fuels and storage, best practice, chimney and fireplace guides or stove installation compliance.

About Me

I'm Jonzie, or for others who know me, Chopper.  I've had a some interesting jobs in my working life, and at 55, due to a change in circumstances I decided it was time for another one!  I have a degree in Environmental Science and worked for a local environmental consultancy for 15 years as a Geo-probe Operator and later as a Remediation Engineer.  For the past 15 years I have run a local sawmill.  These two roles have provided me with a wealth of experience that lends itself well to my new role as a chimney sweep; combining crucial environmental and engineering knowledge with the properties of different types of wood utilised in stoves.  In my spare time, I am fortunate to be able to apply a passion for guitars to run a left-handed guitar business.   I am married with three fabulous kids.
