Hatfield Peverel Essex
One of our recent jobs was conducted at Hatfield Paverel, a large urban village and civil parish at the centre of Essex. Our lovely customer wanted a new wood burner top fitting to a Savoy Elegance mk2 Franco Belge. In addition to this, we provided a full service to the stove. This service included a full sweep to ensure there was no build up soot or any blockages, all of which could be potential fires. Thankfully during this sweep we didn’t find anything concerning, just needed a good sweep to ensure its fully safe for when in use. Not only does this help prevent house fires, but having a regular chimney sweep can help protect the flue liners, therefore saving our customer money in the long run.
This job was completed without any issues, and with lovely feedback from our customer. We always ensure that any mess we make is fully cleaned up after we have done, and we protect furnishings.
