Hi, I am Dave Ford a local chimney sweep based in the St Stephen area of Cornwall – mid way between St Austell, Newquay, Bodmin and Truro.
If you need a local reliable chimney sweep or just some advice around log fires, wood burners etc feel free to give me a ring.
A day off, here spent with Carol (Mrs Ford) and I walking Harley our Springer Spaniel – this is us after walking across Perranporth beach and scaling the climb back up, Harley was doing better than Carol and I!
