Highlights
"As always a great service from Mike. His communication ahead of the sweep is really clear and very helpful for something that happens once a year. Have used Mike for many years now and would recommend to anyone."
"Wow! Seriously impressed by Michael and his service! This guy will not only clear your Chimney of soot, but also do a full analysis of your fireplace and log storage.... all for a very reasonable price!!! Providing helpful, practical ways on: 1) How to store and season your logs efficiently 2) How to get the most out of your fire 3) Fire safety (how to not burn your house down with a candle loving Wife) I will most likely be using Michael until the day he retires or dies....I was that impressed!"
"Excellent service. As always Michael is very friendly and efficient. The fireplace always looks amazing after he has been. Highly recommended"

Smart checks
Before you hire a roofer
Never agree to roof work from a cold-caller at your door or an unsolicited 'we noticed your roof' note — that is the classic roofing scam.
Get a written quote that itemises access (scaffolding or a tower), the exact materials, and the workmanship guarantee — not a vague day rate.
Be wary of demands for a large cash deposit; agree staged payments against work you can actually see completed.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
