Warminster sits at the southern edge of the Wiltshire plain where it meets the chalk downlands — a garrison town with an independent character and a housing stock that includes a good number of older stone and brick properties. The Georgian and Victorian buildings in the town centre and the farmhouses and rural properties on its edges are exactly the kind of homes that Phil Markides works on regularly.
Phil covers Warminster as part of his regular working area. He’s been working in and around the town for 20 years — sweeping chimneys, installing stoves and fireplaces, and carrying out masonry work across the area.
Chimney Sweeping in Warminster
Phil sweeps chimneys throughout Warminster and the surrounding area — Heytesbury, Codford, Sutton Veny, Bishopstrow and the villages along the Wylye Valley. Annual sweeps with full insurance documentation and honest condition reporting. If your chimney hasn’t been swept for a while, get it done before winter — not after the problem has already happened.
Fireplace and Stove Installation in Warminster
The farmhouses and older properties around Warminster are natural candidates for wood-burning stoves. Phil installs stoves and fireplaces throughout the Warminster area, including all chimney preparation, lining where required, and HETAS certification on completion.
Stone Masonry Around Warminster
Chimney repairs, repointing, garden walls and bespoke stone features — Phil covers the Warminster area for masonry work. The chalk and greensand building stone of this part of Wiltshire needs the right treatment, and Phil works with appropriate materials and methods.

Do you cover the Wylye Valley villages — Heytesbury, Codford, Sutton Veny?
Yes — these and the other villages in the Wylye Valley corridor are within Phil’s regular working area. Rural Wiltshire addresses are not a problem.
Are there special requirements for older Warminster properties?
Older stone and brick buildings in this part of Wiltshire often need lime mortar for repointing rather than cement — the wrong mortar traps moisture and damages the original fabric. Phil assesses and uses appropriate materials for the building in front of him, not the cheapest option.
