Wonderful chimney sweeps

Wonderful chimney sweeps. Efficient, knowledgeable,quick,everything cleaned up afterwards.With no need to use the computer, really nice ladies at the end of the phone , who call you to remind you that the time is right for the next clean, and I like being able to pay over the phone rather than the internet. Good old fashioned company values.

Excellent service

I recently had my chimney swept and I was very impressed with their service. They did a professional job, cleaning, I'm very happy with the results and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of a chimney sweep.

Thoroughly unpleasant

It’s not in any way the engineers who made this work so unpleasant, it’s the mgt. Dispute with customers is clearly sport for them, just look at other reviews and how feedback is niggled at.

Our frustration at the delay met with adolescent bickering which defies belief, from a firm so ready to remind us of their royal connection (attained by the last generation of mgt I understand).

Even when we explained that so much of the issue was their tone and manner and a limp apology was offered, the final bill is delivered with stomach turning sass - it just tops off a completely rubbish engagement.

Unless you were used to resorting to it, why would you need to send an invoice draped in threat, quoting legal precedent for late payment fees (8% above base!) and a bunch of other threats, all in the main body of the note. Not reserved for the footnotes ….

Don’t get me wrong, we have a working fire now, but it just feels like .. yep we got really burned.

Over to you….

Good Afternoon Mr Noble,

I again apologize that we couldn't complete the works due to the weather as it was raining (opening up your roof and white/cream carpets that our engineers were not happy to complete despite turning up to site to get the job done) and re-scheduled the following Thursday for works moving works around to facilitate this for you.

After being accused I was trying to swindle you, indeed I mentioned our Royal Warrants and heritage to reassure you as a company we are here for the long run and not going anywhere. After I had been very obliging in assisting in your technical inquiries (50+ emails) despite you sourcing the unit elsewhere and even assisting in informing you of additional items you needed for the appliance to purchase from said company. I found the telephone conversation with you and your wife most strange when we rescheduled the appointment due to weather but offense wasn't my intention.

Indeed due to previous customers we do put terms on our invoices at +8% above base rate as <5% isn't really much weight to customers who don't pay when works are completed as per estimate. I don't see these as footnotes but that's semantics.

We hope you enjoy your fire and wish you all the best.

Great job and great advice

We had problems with our chimney stack. After sending pictures to milborrow, they let us know it was very urgent and had scaffolding up and people making it safe within days. More extensive work was done shortly after that. All work has been completed to a very high standard and we have been kept informed throughout. All our questions have been answered fully and knowledgeably. The fireplace is better than we've ever known it. Absolutely delighted with the work and wouldn't hesitate to use Milborrow again.

I have just used Millbirrow for a chimney sweep and what an amazing service it was. From start to finish I can’t fault them, the engineer who turned up talked me through the entire process and really took care of my home. Thank you again and I will certainly be using you from now on

Be warned

Really disappointed at the service. It has been awful and dragged over the period of a year.

Last year, I asked Milborrow to quote and install a bioethanol fire. The sent someone around who said he was there to do an [unneeded] "gas check" and was unabl to provide such a service. He seemed to have no idea what we had asked for. We had to pay for this despite it not being needed and what we had asked for not being provided.

This year we again requested for details and installation of a bioethanol fireplace. I made it very clear that this was needed before Christmas and I was assured it would be possible. Again, someone came round who had no idea we had asked for this service. I had to talk them through the space that needed to be measured, show them the emails and specifications from Milborrow etc - none of which they had. Just to say this person was very pleasant and responsive so I noted that they had provided a good service.

I was told that we would be provided with the quote in a few days. Over a week later, still no quote. Rang up and was spoken to, in my opinion, quite condescendingly and finally given one later that evening. Now being told they cannot do installation until January. Really shocking and terrible.

My experience is that this company promised me something they have not honoured and cost me the opportunity of securing another provider.

Good Afternoon,

We are very surprised you have resorted to online to air your frustrations.

Unfortunately not ringing true to our notes or records on our systems as to the chain of events. Trevor originally attended site on 11th November 2022 to sweep and confirm your old gas fireplace was capped suitably and measured up for a Bio Ethanol appliance that we then provided an estimate for these works once discussed options and details on; 3rd January 2023 - Estimate 23/18563 for Job 86373 we didn't have any response on this estimate sent all summer and autumn.

You have then re-established contact mid October 2023 (Our busy time of year) and we then re-visted on 13th November.

We then sent a new estimate 23/19634 on 21st November 2023. You then emailed on 23rd November asking for availability if booked and we are responded now booking into January 2024 for installations.

We never as a company guarantee installation pre-Christmas we say there is current availability but this is being booked in daily and is subject to manufacturers and suppliers as well with lead times.

I do not follow your statements of ongoing bad service and being de-prioritized we have delivered what we agreed and as requested and the lead times for works are out of our hands and fluctuate daily.

I apologize we cannot meet your schedule requirements and you feel you have lost the opportunity with another company. Should you wish to discuss further please contact us in the offices.

Terrible service level

Terrible service level. Cancelled on us twice with little notice.

1st visit booked for early October and they had to cancel, then couldn't rebook us for another two weeks. We waited in all day on the rescheduled appointment only to be called late afternoon and informed yet again they had to cancel last minute. Our fireplace is our main source of heating and after contacting them about this second cancellation we are informed that the best they could offer would be another long wait (2 weeks)! Very poor given both cancellations were on their side and the time wasting involved. Dreadful customer service experience sadly. Looking for an alternative, reliable service.

Good Afternoon Mr and Mrs Andrews,

I have reviewed your booking J97713. I can only again apologies for the two occasions we have had to reschedule your appointment.

The initial booking was re-scheduled from 16th was due to staff sickness which as I am sure you can appreciate we also have little notice for. This was re-scheduled for the 28th unfortunately on this date the operative booked ran into problems with blockages on a previous job and we have to reschedule again due to him being delayed and overrunning his schedule.

We have re-booked you into the earliest gap of the 11th (having squeezed you into this gap) and have put you on the "bring forward list" I am afraid this time of year we are super super busy and it is very hard to schedule and re-schedule with problems and issues such as the two you have experienced. We do our upmost to manage and inform clients as soon as we are aware of issues.

We hope we can meet your expected level of service on the 11th and thank you for your patience and understanding under the circumstances.

Surprise Wedding appearance

It was a pleasure and delight to receive a genuine chimney sweep at our wedding to help foster good luck for the marriage, the sweep was very well received by our guests as was his feline companion.
Fantastic addition to our big day and helped make it all the more special for both Groom and Bride!

First rate experience

We’ve had Milborrow now for 6 years, an excellent firm, their sweeps are the best. Our latest, Jack, took the service to another level, polishing the hearth and pipe to boot. Top class!

An excellent professional, company

We found this company excellent. It dealt with the non working gas fire and it is now working as it should. The very helpful man who came also cleaned the chimney. No mess was made in any of the work and we were more than pleased with the quality of the work. The date for the work to be done was adhered to.

Quoted £125-£250 for pressure test

Quoted £125-£250 for pressure test
Obviously, (although a small s 2 storey standard terrace house) they charged the maximum. 🙄
The 2 young lads that came, were however lovely and could not fault them or there helpful knowledge, so thank you guys!
To confirm, they did not take the cage off as stated in your reply.
My gripe is the 2 phone calls and 4 texts after wanting the money from my wife.
Paid in full 3 days later when i got home from being away with work, but somehow felt in the back of my mind it was not a company i would want to deal with again.

Good Morning Mr Bucking and Mrs Wiget,

Your J89193 was email estimated as you have stated £125.00 - £250.00 + VAT your "small terrace house" although maybe narrow is very tall as is the chimney stack that protrudes even further out your roof, coupled with 3 x Velux windows and ridge finials next door made access quite awkward to achieve safely. Followed by as you are aware from your emails to us the top of the stack was caged which required removing and then reinstating after completing the test. Hence the charges being the top end of estimated works due to the additional works and not being a straightforward access for two operatives.

As per terms the works were completed on 23rd of January and payment was due upon completion of works. Which you were present for, so not sure about your statements about being "away with work" we have followed up for fair payment owed for works completed which was paid via BACS on 3rd of February nearly 2 weeks later.

If you were unable to pay or away with work how is that our responsibility to be telepathic? Communication of when payment would of been made would have resolved this amicably, rather than taking to an online keyboard to negatively promote our company. Chasing customers for fair monies and payment owed, on an estimate you accepted in writing and the workmanship by your own words; "lovely and could not fault them or there helpful knowledge, so thank you guys!" it really does baffle us trying to complete works fairly and to high standard.

We wish you all the best with your project.

We can highly recommend Milborrow…for a very professional job

We can highly recommend Milborrow Chimney, everything they said they would do happened. The work carried out was excellent and so clean ( not easy dealing with soot and bird nests ) The open fire over Christmaa was magical and also cost saving on our heating bill.

Excellent service and good value

Take no notice of the few negative reviews on trust pilot! I have used Milborrow Chimney Sweeps several times. They are always very easy to deal with, helpful on the phone when booking or making an inquiry, arrive on time, do the job quickly and with zero mess, and at a very reasonable charge. This year they kindly squeezed us in just before Christmas on request. Not much more to ask for really. Thanks very much.

Great job!

Just had a log burner fitted, can’t praise the guys enough - even standing on a ladder in the p—ing rain fitting a new pot! Great job, very tidy in their work and they run on tea. What more could you want?! Thoroughly recommended.

Avoid at all costs

Avoid at all costs. Because that is what you will be in for. All costs. I was quoted £1500 for installing a stove but somehow received a final bill for £3276. Their employees are clearly there to find dodgy ways of increasing the bill. Pretentious owners who treat all their customers as cash cows.

Good Morning Mrs Hall,

Was lovely to see you in Court yesterday where you were ordered by the court to pay the full amount owed and expenses for the works completed. Which was funny enough 100% as per the estimate sent to you and formally accepted by yourself in writing. As the judge said yesterday I suggest you again to re-read said estimate with a calculator to get to the total amount invoiced. Which is what we look forward to having in full and final settlement of your works as ordered by the court together with our expenses for our wasted time.

It is very refreshing for us that the Judge be as confused as we were in a formally estimated job and exactly matching invoice to be questioned.

All the best Mrs Hall and good luck with that calculator and we look forward to your remittance.
