Maria, Kingsthorpe ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have used RJL Chimneys a number of times to service our wood-burner stove and to sweep the flue. Their service is first rate - highly reliable, the stove is left like new and the surrounding area of the room is very well protected leaving not a spot of dirt to be found anywhere. I love that you receive reminders about your appointment and a notification 30 minutes before their arrival so you are not tied down waiting around and can get on with your day. They are very knowledgeable, polite and friendly to do business with and their charges are reasonable. I highly recommend RJL Chimneys."
Howard, Towcester ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I found Richard really professional and friendly, and he really knows his trade, He spent more time cleaning out the flue than my previous sweep, and removed a significant amount of soot that was trapped above our stove that had been previously missed. I can happily recommend him to anyone looking to have their chimney swept.!"
Stefan, Silverstone ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
