London Fog Chimney Sweeps

Brian and a helper arrived when they said they would, and look to have done a good job. There is light carpet around our fireplace, and it was as clean when they left as when they got there. I assumed and was told that the chimney and fireplace would be inspected durring the job, but was not told it would only be a visual inspection. I might be expecting too much, but I assumed that they would climb up to the top of the stack, clean the traps in the basement and give a thorough inspection with pictures, etc. This was not the case. I wasn’t watching the whole time, but I assume the chimney was brushed out, then they left the shop vac running for about 10 minutes while they sat in the van. I can’t say that this did or didn’t meet my expectations, as I wasn’t sure what to expect. Brian did answer a few questions for us, and was friendly enough.

I heard this company is bad to deal with!!! Just letting u all know

Maybe I expected too much. I called this morning at 10 o’clock to confirm our 10:45 to noon appointment. Most companies do a courtesy call ahead of time which I did not receive. They said they would be there within that window. To my surprise Brian did not show up until 12:05. When making the appointment I asked if they will show me how to work, use, the fireplace I was told absolutely. But when it came down to it he seemed rushed and ready to leave with little explanation. Telling me that my turn ons for the gas maybe downstairs somewhere he doesn’t know. As he tried to turn on the piolet back and forth telling me it may be broke he doesn’t know he has someone who might be able to look at it. Also that there is a way to align the Log but he doesn’t know and it comes with a manual when you first buy them which I bought the house with a fireplace so I did not buy the Logs. well the price was good I guess, I still can’t use my fireplace because now I have to have someone come out to tell me if the turn ON switch is broken or not. I was also told that there is a brick that was laying on my temper and is now shoved on my smoke shelf.

Fairly clean work. He did leave some soot in my driveway. I thought he was in too much of a hurry when he was at my house, but he seemed to do an OK job cleaning one of my chimneys.

Awesome! This guy cleans our chimney every year. Brian’s inexpensive, quick, clean, and I love the fact that he makes me want to hum Mary Poppins songs.
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-​ee!
A sweep is as lucky
As lucky can be
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-​oo!
Good luck will rub off when
I shake ‘ands with you
Or blow me a kiss
And that’s lucky too
Now as the ladder of life
’As been strung
You may think a sweep’s
On the bottommost rung
Though I spends me time
In the ashes and soot
In this ‘olé wide world
There’s no ‘appier bloke
Up where the smoke is
All billered and curled
’Tween pavement and stars
Is the chimney sweep world
When the’s ‘ardly no day
Nor ‘ardly no night
There’s things ‘alf in shadow
And ‘alf way in light
On the roof tops of London
Coo, what a sight!
I choose me bristles with pride
Yes, I do
A broom for the shaft
And a broom for the flume
Though I’m covered with soot
From me ‘ead to me toes
A sweep knows ‘e’s welcome
Wherever ‘e goes
Chim chiminey
Chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-​ee!
When you’re with a sweep
You’re in glad company
No where is there
A more ‘appier crew
Than them wot sings
«Chim chim cher-​ee
Chim cher-​oo!»
On the chim chiminey
Chim chim cher-​ee
Chim cher-​oo!
