Shepton Mallet is a quiet Somerset market town with an authentic character and a housing stock that ranges from older stone cottages in the town centre to farmhouses and rural properties spread across the hills to the east and west. It sits at the gateway to the Mendips and has the kind of solidly built older properties that Phil Markides works on regularly — homes that were designed with fireplaces and that need the right kind of care to keep them working properly.
Phil covers Shepton Mallet and the surrounding area as part of his regular working patch — including the villages of Evercreech, Ditcheat, East Pennard and the countryside running up towards the Mendip Hills.
Chimney Sweeping in Shepton Mallet
A lot of the properties in and around Shepton Mallet have original chimneys that have been in use for generations. Phil sweeps them properly — cleaning the full flue length, documenting the sweep for insurance, and reporting honestly on the condition of the flue, the pot and the stack. For older rural properties in particular, the inspection aspect of a sweep can be just as valuable as the cleaning.
