    “Hi Jim

    Just wanted to thank you for a great job…sweeping chimney and replacing the cracked fire tiles. You arrived on time, and made sure everything was left spotlessly clean and tidy. I have already recommended you to several friends and to family, and will continue to share your business details.

    Thanks again”

    “Old Sooty serviced my log burner whilst I was at work. I had a terrible day and came home to my fire serviced, appropriate paperwork left and a delightful parcel of kindling. It made my day.

    Highly Recommend”

    Mr & Mrs C, from Pathhead

    “After trying to get hold of a few different chimney sweeps, I was really impressed with Old Sooty. They were so helpful, turned up when they said they would and did a great job. Really friendly and great customer service too. Would definitely recommend them!”

    ============================

  • We love pets, but to keep them safe please ensure that they are in a secure room or garden when we visit to prevent them from escaping whilst the door is open, or being scared of the equipment or sweep.

  • All you are required to do is ensure that the space around the fireplace is clear; no other furniture needs to be removed.

  • No. We ensure that there is nothing for our customers to do when we leave except enjoy their fire and clean chimney.

  • No; the Chimney will be swept from inside your home, so no roof access is required.

  • Yes I have undertaken training by, and am an Assessment Member of, the National Association of Chimney Sweeps (NACS)
