🎉🥳 350 FIVE-STAR GOOGLE REVIEWS! 🥳🎉
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

WHAT A MILESTONE FOR DCL! 🙌🔥

I love my reviews. I really do. Every single one means something to me—but this one deserves a proper celebration!

Not only is it an absolutely amazing review… it’s my 350th FIVE-STAR GOOGLE REVIEW! 🤩

When you’re out working long days, putting everything into your business, words like these make you stop, smile and feel bloody proud.

350 five-star reviews. That’s something I’ll never take for granted. ❤️

To everyone who has booked me, recommended DCL, passed my number to a friend or taken the time to leave a review—THANK YOU. You’ve helped me build this, and I couldn’t do it without you. 👏

And to this customer, who worried that leaving a review might make it harder to book next year… 😂 Your review has absolutely made my day!

Here’s to the next milestone! 🥂🔥

🔥 EAT. SWEEP. SLEEP. REPEAT! 🧹😂

Well, it’s really refreshing to know that my next day off is currently 22nd November! 😂

No matter how prepared I think I am for sweep season, the phone just keeps ringing and the enquiries keep coming!

When I first started building the chimney sweeping side of DCL, I was lucky if I managed 5–7 sweeps a week. Fast-forward five years and I’m now doing well over 50 sweeps a week! 🤯

I’m absolutely over the moon with how the business has grown, and I certainly don’t take any of it for granted.

A massive thank you to everyone who has used my services, recommended me to friends and family, shared my posts or simply helped spread the word.

As a small local business, those recommendations mean more than you probably realise, and I genuinely appreciate every single one of you.

Thank you all for keeping DCL so busy!

🧹 Chim chiminey, chim chiminey… look what’s popped out the top! 😂

No, Dick Van D**e hasn’t joined DCL — that’s just us making sure the brush has made it all the way through the flue! 🔥🧹

There’s something strangely satisfying about seeing that brush appear at the top of the chimney. More importantly, it’s a good sign that we’ve swept right through from the appliance/fireplace to the chimney pot.

Another chimney swept, another certificate issued, and another customer ready for the colder weather. 🔥

If your chimney is due its sweep, give DCL a shout and we’ll get you booked in.

⚠️ TWO CHIMNEYS. TWO PROPERTIES. LESS THAN 48 HOURS APART.

Both of these customers believed they were doing the right thing by sweeping their own chimneys.

Unfortunately, what we found tells a very different story.

The photographs show significant creosote deposits inside the flues. This isn’t simply a bit of soot that has been missed. Creosote can be highly combustible, and when deposits are allowed to build up, the potential consequences can be serious.

🔥 Increased risk of a chimney fire
🔥 Extremely high temperatures if the deposits ignite
🏠 Potential damage to the flue, chimney and surrounding building structure
💨 Restriction of the flue and reduced performance
⚠️ Increased risk of dangerous combustion gases not being drawn away correctly
💷 And, as both customers have unfortunately discovered, potentially expensive remedial treatment

A chimney may look clean from the fireplace, but that doesn’t mean the entire flue is clean or safe.

A professional chimney sweep isn’t simply pushing a brush up the chimney. We are looking at the condition of the flue, the deposits being removed, signs of tar and creosote, potential blockages and other warning signs that may require further investigation.

Both of these properties are now undergoing intensive creosote treatment to remove the deposits properly — a considerably bigger and more expensive job than routine chimney maintenance.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with homeowners wanting to look after their own properties.

But sometimes DIY can give a false sense of security.

These two chimneys are a very good example of why having your chimney properly swept and inspected matters.

If you’re burning wood or solid fuel, don’t assume that because a brush has been up the chimney, the chimney is clean.

Get it swept properly. Get it checked properly. And know what you’re burning into.

“It was working fine last winter…”

I hear those words all the time.

Then I sweep the chimney and find this… 👇

🐦 Birds’ nests blocking the flue.

🖤 Thick creosote and tar lining the chimney.

The frightening thing is, most homeowners have no idea what’s hiding inside until it’s swept.

A blocked chimney can stop dangerous gases from escaping, while creosote is one of the leading causes of chimney fires.

That’s why I always recommend having your chimney swept before winter, not after.

✅ Full chimney inspection
✅ Professional chimney sweep
✅ HETAS-recognised sweeping certificate

My diary always fills up once the colder weather arrives, so if your chimney hasn’t been swept in the last 12 months, now is the perfect time to book.

❤️ Thanks for continuing to support my small local business. It genuinely means the world to me.

👇 One question…

When was the last time your chimney was swept?
