Father
Kenny
is well known around Deeside & Donside as the local
Chimney Sweep/Builder…. touring around with his white van
with the ladders on top keeping the lums in the area clean
and safe!
Kenny
started his working life as an apprentice Stone Mason with,
at the time, the local Aboyne firm of Builders.
At this time he was involved with the building of
houses, farm steadings etc.
After serving his 5 year apprenticeship and staying a
few more years with the same firm he moved on to a couple of
other firms finally ending up as Foreman Mason with Banchory
Contractors, who had recently started up.
In
1977 Kenny decided to branch out on his own and started his
own building firm. This
has changed several times over the years from building
houses, steadings etc to chimney sweeping and now to
specialising in fireplace work i.e. building in fireplaces,
relining chimneys both traditional and flexi, fitting Wood burning
/Multi fuel stoves and any chimney/flue related work.
Because of new regulations etc he is often asked by
local builders, who have built a house, to come along and
build in a fireplace or fit a stove.
Over
the past few years we have carried out work for various
Estate Agents, most of the local Estates, the National Trust
for Scotland and Aberdeen Housing Partnership as well as
having a good base of loyal customers.
Kenny
is a Regional Executive for the National Association of
Chimney Sweeps (NACS)
and covers, at the moment, the whole of Scotland.
Recently,
he has branched out again into supplying stoves as well as
fitting them and we have fitted out a store to display
several of the types of stoves we can supply.
