Hi

We've had 123 Chimnney Sweeps around today and I was very pleased with his service. The chap's name is Alan, 020 8668 9914, 07956 385112, check out his website, they've been going since the 1870's! Very friendly and tidy and lots of advice if you need it. Definitely recommended.

Phil from Mr. Jolly was great. Really knowledgable (we just moved into this flat and knew nothing about wood-stoves or the care of them - he was really informative along with cleaning our chimney!). I recommend his service. (thanks to David, the ED Forum member who suggested him to us!)

Give 1.2.3 Chimney Sweeps a call on 020 8668 9914 or check out their web site wwww.123chimneysweeps.co.uk

Our family have used them in south London for donkeys years I've recommended him before on EDF and others highly recommend him, his names Alan Naish and there's nothing he doesn't know about chimneys!!!

We too used 123 Chimney Sweeps - Alan Naish - last week, very helpful, polite and clean. Knows his stuff!


Whoever you go for just make sure they're a member of one of the chimney sweep assocations.


Now, where best in ED to buy smokeless or real coke? I picked up a 10kg bag of smokeless from the firestation on Old Kent Road, at ?8 - no idea if that's reasonable?

I've just had Alan round from 1.2.3. Chimney Sweeps, and just in time too judging by the amount of soot that came out of the chimney. He was excellent. No mess, quick, friendly and left a certificate with an analysis of the state of the chimney. Get's my recommendation.

Alan sorted out my chimney too - he did a great job and gave me lots of helpful advice. I'd never had a log burning stove before and was a bit afraid of it! He charged ?40 and it was worth every penny. I'll definitely use him again. His phone number is 079 56 38 51 12

Ah, thread resurrection. If anyone read my old post wondering where to buy cheap coal, I ended up using CPL (search coals2u); ?15 for ?25kg of Homefire smokeless. Minimum order was ?50 and they deliver bagged or unbagged to your shed/coal bunker/garage.


Marginally cheaper than the petrol stations but worth it for the delivery alone. Probably less damp as well.

Alan Naish visited me this morning and swept my chimney prior to installation of a stove.


As well as doing a thorough job, he gave me plenty of useful advice which will save me a lot in the near future.


He commented about how busy he gets just before Christmas so maybe it's best to contact him during the summer, his quieter period. That's my plan anyway!


Another very satisfied customer.

On the above recommendations I used 123 Chimney Sweeps this morning. Alan was punctual, pleasant, clean and tidy and did a thorough job, pointing out crumbling mortar and gave useful advice as well as an accredited certificate. A good company.


I would recommend and use again.

    • Fascinating The Rest is Politics questions this week and they deal with the farmer issue as the first question. Rory Stewart has a fascinating insight into the issues here - about the high cost of land and the low returns from farming and how this is anything but a few farms being affected. Well worth a listen for those that want to hear both sides of the argument.

    • Apparently the police took a call from a certain C Little.  I understand that it was difficult to hear the exact name as there was a lot of clucking in the background.  Various farm animals are helping with enquiries, worryingly a few foxes have been seen on the prowl so this may not end well.  I say police protection for C Little, now. Eagles and seagulls have also been seen on large numbers in the area.  I'd keep away as it could be carnage. Certainly watch your ice cream cornets and perhaps wear ear plugs. Not sure if this is anything to do with the local authority or the Labour government, no doubt someone will find a link.
