Just had the first clean of my chimney following the installation of a new woodburner, replacing an open fire. James turned up on time and provided a really efficient service. Highly recommended.

We have been using Ablewight for years. Superb, professional and friendly service - highly recommended!

James was quick, tidy, efficient and good company. He did two chimneys top to bottom and had helpful advice about what to do with them once they need to be spruced up!

Provided a really good service. Polite, punctual, did a really good job and left the place spotless. I would recommend them and will definitely be using them again.
