Your friendly Dorset chimney sweep, asking for a little support.

Hello,
Jim Chim-in-ey here.
Your friendly chimney sweep, asking for a little support.

Many of you know me as your friendly chimney sweep by day, but by night I supliment my income by DJing across a few small pubs in the area, all of which have had the rugs pulled from under them.

Due to COVID-19 both my chimney sweep business has rapidly slowed and my DJ work has been wiped out.
This is a polite request to help this sole trader survive the storm.

How can you help?

CHIMNEY'S STILL NEED SWEEPING

If you haven't had your yearly/bi yearly sweep? Give me a call on 07837 672 548 to book it in.

WORD OF MOUTH
Could you recommend this chimney sweep to a friend or family?

ALREADY HAD YOUR CHIMNEY SWEPT?
You can buy your next 20/21 season chimney sweep in advance at this year's price + get a 5% discount.
Call for more info.

GAS FIRES NEED SWEEPING TOO
It is recommended that a gas fire is swept to remove dust & cobwebs which can cause dangerous blockages

GIVE YOUR STOVE THE MAKEOVER SHE DESERVES

Fire rope looking flat or frayed ?
Stove pipe cement cracking?
Paint work looking tired?
Full service and individual repairs available.
{Link to chimney services and prices.}

STOP ANY DRAUGHTS
I install draught excluders. Installing a chimney balloon or sponge in disused stack can help keep the heat in your property. Balloons can also be installed in live chimneys to stop the draught while they are out of use for the summer.

£30.00 or £45.00 including installation.
