Mike Ball Coal Merchant & Chimney Sweep

06/10/2026

Lots of Stoves and open fires have been getting a sweep and spruce up ready for the Autumn/Winter. The diary is now open for December with very limited availability. 🪾🥶❄️

Well worth a visit this weekend even if you are not currently after a new installation, I'm sure you will find ideas and inspiration for your next home improvement.
A note to owners of log burners and multifuel stove users, modern Stoves are more efficient than older models and emit less emissions.
I will be around on Saturday if anyone wants to have a chat about Sweeps, stove repairs and bookings.

When people ask who I would recommend for installing a Stove, the answer is always the same. OER Fireplaces & Stoves Showroom do an amazing job from start to finish. Listening to the customer is key to making sure they are happy with the end results, advising a customer is important to making sure they can achieve those end results. Quality products give a lasting result.
This installation is evidence of that, it's an older installation that's never had a replacement part yet, and the finish and workmanship is still as good as the day it was installed.

Some Stoves here got a Sweep, service and polish. It won't stay this hot for much longer and when the weather does change these are ready to go. 👍🏻

The forgotten fire refound, and a lovely quirky Prity oven.

Last week was another scorcher 🥵 but it was worth working in the heat to see the end results. These fires are definitely ready for when the Sun disappears and the nights draw in.

Always a pleasure Sweeping The Roebuck Forsbrook, and even better when it's time for a pint 🍻

Wow it's been warm, but that's not stopped the Sweeps going ahead. Summer is a great time to get those Chimneys and Flues Swept, and Stoves serviced.
Beat the Autumn rush.
The next available slots are August and I will be starting to book the return Sweeps in on Wednesday, so if you would like to have one of the limited slots in August let me know.

It's been a busy few days, yesterday I was with the landlord Mark and landlady Nicola at The Butchers Arms Forsbrook. This time it wasn't for a pint, it was to Sweep the open fire and Stove.

Today I was with OER Fireplaces & Stoves Showroom. They have an absolutely amazing showroom, this really is the place to go for a Muti-fuel Stove, Log burners, gas fires, electric Fires, Media walls, parts for fires, and they install as well. It's always a pleasure to meet the team and have a chat.

I am now into August bookings for Sweeps, servicing and repairs. If you would like an appointment or just have any queries drop me a message or call on; 07709977532

A few lovely Stoves swept, polished and ready for Autumn. My particular favourite was the oval Scan 66 Stove, very quirky.
