Why Chimney Green
Years in the army teach you that "good enough" gets people hurt. That habit doesn't leave you. It just finds new work.
Chimney Green was built on the same principle that ran every day of service: turn up on time, do the job properly, leave the place better than you found it, and stand behind your work. Whether that's a flue swept clean and certified, or a garden cleared, cut and tidied, the bar is the same — the highest there is.
No mess left behind. No corners cut. No job signed off until it would pass inspection.
Why it matters
Treated like one, it keeps your home warm and safe. Neglected, it's one of the most preventable risks in any house.

A blocked or unswept flue can push carbon monoxide back into the room — silent, invisible and deadly. A clear chimney vents it safely away.
Always fit a CO alarm
Many home policies require proof of regular sweeping. Our NACS certificate is the evidence that keeps your cover valid when you need it most.
Certificate every visit
Before you light it
A season of burning leaves soot and creosote building quietly in the flue. Clear it before the cold returns — not on the first frosty night you go to light the fire.
Grounds, kept to order
Garden & Grounds
The discipline that gets a flue spotless is the same one that brings an overgrown garden back to order — and keeps it that way.
Regular maintenance or a one-off rescue: mowing, edging, hedges, borders, clearances and seasonal tidy-ups. We also lay new lawns — old turf out, ground prepped and levelled, fresh turf down. And because we're a registered waste carrier, every scrap of green and general waste is taken away and disposed of legally — never fly-tipped, never your problem.

In their words
A reputation built one tidy job at a time.
Punctual, polite and meticulous. Laid sheets, swept clean, showed me the CCTV footage and emailed the certificate before he'd left. You can tell he's ex-forces — nothing left to chance.
Cleared and tidied an overgrown garden that two others wouldn't take on. Took all the waste away same day, properly disposed of. Honest quote, brilliant result. Booked him for the chimney too.
Found a bird's nest blocking the flue on the CCTV survey, removed it safely and capped the pot. Explained everything clearly with no pressure. Spotless work and a genuinely decent bloke.
