What we do

Chimney sweep and stove services

Whether it's an open fire, a log burner you've just inherited with a new house, or a stove that's started smoking, Brett will sort it, explain it, and leave the place tidy.

    Chimney sweeping

    Power sweeping and dry sweeping for fires and log burners, with the room left clean and tidy afterwards.

  2. 02

    Stove servicing

    A proper check over your stove alongside the sweep, so you know it's in good working order. We'll talk you through how to get the best from it, too.

  3. 03

    Stove repairs

    We don't just sweep. When a stove needs attention, we carry out repairs as well as servicing.

  4. 04

    Fires and flues

    The flue matters as much as the fire beneath it. Give Brett a ring and he'll take a look.

  5. Not sure what you need?

    Ring Brett, tell him what you've got, and he'll talk it through with you.

More than a sweep

Stove repairs and servicing

We don't just carry out chimney sweeping. We also carry out stove repairs and servicing, so the stove that keeps you warm all winter gets looked after properly, not just the flue above it.

Bought a house with a log burner and never used one? Brett will check it over and show you how to run it safely.

“Brett was amazing, professional and did a great job. He did 3 of our log burns, whilst keeping everything clean and tidy. Plus he educated us on how to actually use the log burner properly, which was greatly appreciated. Really knowledgeable on everything also. I would recommend him to anyone.”

“Brett was very thorough and reassuring to us logburner newbies! We bought a house with 2 log-burners recently and had no idea how to use them or if they were in good working order. His sweep and service was very good and he gave us advice which will be invaluable when using them. Will definitely use his services again, thanks Brett!”

“Fantastic service, very reasonably priced and went above and beyond! the whole inside or our new house needs ripping out and replacing and brett still had the same level of care as if it was a recently refurbished place! Also took the time to reassure my wife who suffers with anxiety that burners are safe and explain why! couldn't recommend bretburn any higher! Cheers,see you when it's time for a sweep!”
