Gerald was extremely friendly, professional, and meticulous. He broke out all the old damaged material, thoroughly cleaned everything, and completely replaced the back walls, side walls, and leveled the base. I have rarely seen such clean and accurate work. The fireplace looks and feels completely safe again. Thank you so much for your time and the great work... Highly recommended😃

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Robert and his team came to my aid while I was renovating my house and installed a new stove for me. This came with a new chimney liner and a bit of work to do at the top of my chimney breast. The lads came up priced up what was required and came at a good time and changed eveything
