## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Steve came, and did the chimney and explained some remedial work that I may need to undertake in the future and also provided some useful contacts. I was quite busy with the electrician at the time, so I left him to it. He was in and out in well under an hour. No mess or dust. Very nice guy."

> "Basil the Brush came into sweep our chimney. He worked quickly and quietly and you never know he had been in after he had finished. He arrived on time and spent a few minutes going over what he was going to do. Overall I would highly recommend Basil the Brush service for quality or service, tidiness and price."

> "Steve arrived at the time we arranged. He was very courteous, left his shoes at the door, clean and tidy. Steve is very knowledgeable about his job and mentioned that he'd been a chimney sweep for over 20 years. I'm very pleased with his work and glad I employed a small local business. My chimney probably hasn't been swept for about 10 years as we stopped using it. Will definitely use his services again next year."
