Do you work along the East Neuk coast as well as the towns?

We do. Crail, Pittenweem, Anstruther, Elie and the surrounding villages are a regular part of our round. Salt air is hard on flue terminals there, so we tend to fit stainless rather than galvanised components and check terminals on every sweep visit.

Can you sweep student and HMO lets in the St Andrews area?

Yes, and we work to the timetable letting agents actually use, which usually means sweeping in the summer changeover window rather than in October. Certificates are issued per address so they can be filed against each tenancy.

Do you charge extra for a village call-out?

No call-out fee. We group village visits so several nearby properties are done on the same run, which keeps the price the same as a town job.

Can you work around a holiday let changeover?

We can. Short-let owners usually need a mid-week slot between guests, and we will hold a time rather than give a vague window that risks a booking.

Does an open fire need the same attention as a stove?

It needs more sweeping, not less. An open fire sends far more unburnt material up the flue than a modern closed appliance, so deposits build faster even though the fire feels gentler.
