Bradford-on-Avon is home territory for Andromeda Chimney and Home. Phil is based in Lower Westwood, on the outskirts of the town, and has been working on the properties here for 20 years. The town’s stone-built character — the former weavers’ cottages, the hill terraces, the older farmhouses on the surrounding slopes — gives Phil the kind of work he’s best at: period properties with chimneys that need proper care and craftsman-level attention.
If you live in Bradford-on-Avon and your fireplace or chimney needs attention, you’re calling the local specialist. Phil knows the area’s building stock, he knows what lime mortar suits local stone, and he’ll be with you quickly because you’re on his doorstep.

Phil sweeps chimneys throughout Bradford-on-Avon and the surrounding villages, fully documenting each sweep for insurance purposes and flagging anything that needs attention.
