# CGB Chimney Services
CGB Chimney Services is a professional chimney sweeping business based in Oxford, operated by Chris, who has been sweeping chimneys since 2012. The company serves homeowners throughout Oxfordshire and surrounding areas who rely on fireplaces and wood burners.
Chris is a qualified member of the Institute of Chimney Sweeps (ICS), demonstrating his commitment to industry standards and professional practice. The business positions itself as offering a friendly, professional approach to chimney maintenance and safety.
What sets CGB Chimney Services apart is their educational focus. Rather than simply providing a transactional service, they actively educate customers about crucial safety matters—particularly carbon monoxide risks—and proper wood burning techniques. The website prominently directs customers to the Burn Right initiative (www.burnright.co.uk) with instructional videos, suggesting Chris believes informed customers are safer customers.
The business caters to both traditional fireplace users and wood burner owners, recognising these require proper maintenance and knowledge to operate safely and efficiently. By emphasising ICS membership and providing free safety guidance, Chris differentiates himself from less professional competitors who might simply sweep without the broader safety context.
The approachable contact method—direct mobile number and email—reflects a small, personalised operation where customers interact directly with Chris himself, rather than a corporate call centre. This transparency and accessibility is particularly valued in trades where trust and reliability are essential.
