Stove installation and servicing, chimney lining and sweeping, fireplace building in the Lake District and Cumbria based in Kirkby Lonsdale

I first embarked on my chimney career at the tender age of 19 with an internationally acclaimed franchise called CICO, where I cut my teeth on a variety of chimney linings, fireplace fitments and stack building. I primarily learnt on the pumps and ladders to carry out cast in-situ linings and also branched out into solid fuel stainless steel flexible liners which is now my primary form of lining. After many long years and many linings, the company boss decided it was time to retire at which point the franchise was bought by a close friend who proceeded to bring the company up to date. He made me chief engineer and later a manager and director of the company. After a short while it was decided to break away from the CICO franchise and go it alone as a small elite company known as Phoenix Chimney engineering. This company continues to operate a superb service as does CICO. Due to family commitments in the form of a second child, I decided it was time to start up on my own. I decided to downsize and specialize to keep the workload at a moderate level thus enabling me to operate at my own pace, and to give the customer a quality service without any of the overheads of a larger company. During my time with Phoenix I picked up my HETAS qualification allowing me to operate at a higher specification and proceed with confidence. To this day the building regulations, mainly document J which covers solid fuel applications, are always at my side.
At the ripe old age of 42 I moved from the small village of Dent to the popular market town of Kirkby Lonsdale and have settled with my wife Rebecca and our two children Charlie and Lucy, and intend to use this as my permanent base from which to operate. I am used to travelling to my jobs as I have covered most of the North of England and the South of Scotland, although my main areas would, of course, focus around the Lake District, Cumbria and Lancashire.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with queeries about my line of work. I can be reached via E-mail or mobile as I am readily available to chat, unless I happen to have my head up a chimney. As the saying goes 'it's a dirty job but someone's got to do it!'
I take pride in my work as it is my best advertisement, so please don't expect me to do any cheap bodge jobs.
Thanks
Nick Brown
