What customers say
"Great service every time. We have used Marsdens for a few years now for our annual chimney sweep. They are always so reliable and have recently replaced the glass in our fire, which we are so pleased with. Would highly recommend."
"Marsdens came highly recommended by a friend. Cameron responded quickly, came to my house, did an assessment and provided a quote. They are polite, professional and punctual. They were really tidy and clean, and very knowledgeable. Excellent workmen who I would highly recommend."
"Cameron and his dad have done a brilliant job installing our new log burner today, professional job all done to spec, neat and tidy workmanship and two top blokes. We're absolutely made up!"
"I phoned Marsdens as we needed the chimney sweeping for the sale of the house. Cameron was very prompt in trying to fit us in, he was very knowledgeable, and clean. Our log burner now looks brand new as he also installed new bricks and baffle."
A certificate with every sweep
An annual sweep keeps your fire burning efficiently and cuts the risk of chimney fires and carbon monoxide. As NACS registered sweeps we check your fire and chimney thoroughly and leave you a certificate, which insurers and house buyers often ask to see.
Our team is HETAS qualified, so your stove and chimney are in safe hands.

Common questions
Can't see your question? Ring us on 07990 686164 for free advice.
How often should I get my chimney swept?
At least once a year. If you burn wood or coal regularly, more often is wise, ideally before and after the burning season. We can advise based on your fuel and how much you use your fire.
Do I get a certificate after my chimney is swept?
Yes. As NACS registered sweeps we issue a certificate after every sweep. Many home insurers ask for proof that your chimney has been swept, and buyers often ask for one when you sell your house.
Will sweeping make a mess in my house?
No. We sheet off the fireplace and surrounding floor, seal the opening and work clean, leaving your room as we found it.
Can you remove a bird's nest from my chimney?
Yes. Nests with eggs or chicks are protected by law, so we check first and remove nests once they are no longer in use, then fit a cowl or guard to stop birds returning.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based in Hindley, Wigan, and cover Wigan, Leigh, Bolton, Chorley, St Helens, Warrington and the wider North West.
