Chimney Sweep In Barnet

Barnet

Few places in London can match Barnet for sheer chimney variety. The Georgian mansions around Hadley Green, built by wealthy merchants drawn to the elevated position and clean air, sit just a short walk from medieval timber-framed buildings on the High Street, where one recently discovered shop contains timbers dating to the 1330s. Head into Monken Hadley and you'll find 16th-century properties with fireplaces that predate the Great Fire of London, alongside handsome Victorian villas and the familiar 1930s semis that fill the wider borough. We're well established in this part of North London, whether we're carefully maintaining a listed chimney stack overlooking the site of the 1471 Battle of Barnet or carrying out a routine annual sweep on a family semi near Underhill. The architectural range means we genuinely never know what we'll find behind the next fireplace opening, and after thousands of jobs, that still keeps the work interesting. From Tudor hearths to interwar flues, Barnet's five centuries of chimney history are in safe hands with us.

SweepSmart aren't your average chimney sweep
