More from Emma our Heritage Town Planning Consultant daughter – This week she saw this amazing ornate fireplace in a hall in Leicestershire where she was conducting a site visit. Emma saw this fireplace and immediately thought of me and my weekly blog, clever girl. It is certainly a monumental piece of interior architecture and must date back to the Regency Period. I dread to think what it would cost to construct these days, a very definite statement of wealth and standing I feel. I don’t think the Charnwood Island stove looks out of place, a nice juxtaposition of old and contemporary.
Dear Customer,
My name is Paddy McKeown, I am a retired police officer (Detective Sergeant – Metropolitan Police), turned chimney sweep. I have completed training with ‘The Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps’, and Rod Tech UK (Power Sweeping).
I have built up a wealth of practical knowledge and experience, and have invested in a range of sweeping equipment including CCTV equipment to examine and record the interior condition of flues/chimneys and so can diagnose and advise on all sorts of chimney problems and carry out minor repairs if necessary.
I sweep cleanly and efficiently all open fire places, as well as wood-burning stoves, Aga’s, Rayburn’s Alpha’s, Parkray’s, Baxi’s, inglenooks and biomass boilers.
Put simply, I offer an inclusive sweeping package that will guarantee your safety whilst you get the best out of your appliance or open fire.
