How does the process work?

I start with a look at your chimney or stove to understand exactly what's needed, whether that's a sweep, a service, or a new installation. From there I give you a clear explanation and a fixed price before any work begins.

Do you give fixed quotes?

Yes, every job is quoted after I've seen the work involved, so you get a clear, fixed price with no surprises once the work starts.

Are you insured and do you follow current standards?

Yes, I'm fully insured, and all stove and flue installations are carried out with current regulations, including Document J, taken into account.

How long does a sweep or installation take?

A standard sweep usually takes under an hour. Stove installations and fireplace restorations take longer, and I'll give you a realistic timeframe once I've seen the job.

How do I know if there's an underlying problem with my chimney?

I inspect the chimney and flue properly rather than just clearing soot, so if there's an issue like a damaged liner or a blockage, I'll identify it and explain your options honestly.

What areas do you cover?

I cover the local area and surrounding towns and villages. Get in touch with your postcode and I can confirm straight away.

Straight answers on what your chimney or stove actually needs, before any work is agreed.

A lot of the advice I give happens before any tools come out: whether a chimney is suitable for a stove, what size flue it needs, whether an old fireplace can be opened up safely, or what current regulations actually require. I keep up with Document J and take a HETAS-aware approach, so what I tell you reflects the current standards rather than guesswork.

If a chimney needs relining, I'll say so. If it doesn't, I'll say that too. The aim is for you to make a decision based on an honest read of what's actually there, not on being sold the most expensive option.

Our requirements were a replacement of one stove plus maintenance, and installation of a second stove in a fire place that has remained dormant for over 10 years. After much research and various recommendations, i can honestly say that we definitely made the right choice with Martin. impeccable service, workmanship and attention to detail cannot say enough. Martin listened to what we wanted to achieve, delivered on product as well as design, and remained extremely flexible with other intrusive works in the property. I can say that Martin consistently delivered, was reliable, and above all, in a busy household with small children and pets, was courteous and extremely clean, given the amount of dust this type of job usually generates. My most favourable aspect of the work that Martin delivered was his honest and clearly knowledgeable opinion. not only is he up to speed with all the relevant legislation documents (such as Document J) he is HETAS affiliated. I found his knowledge on stoves exceeding.

Martin was fantastic and very professional. He was able to take off the plaster and reveal natural brick and we now have a superb fireplace. Highly recommended
