The Hart & Kohl Story

How did we come to set up a chimney sweep business?

For over 27 years, the military has been an integral part of both our lives. Having met in Cyprus, we fully embraced service life and enjoyed living in the UK, Canada and Germany with our son, Joshua. 

Returning to Norfolk in 2011, Jane's home county, George left the Army and with his extensive background in engineering, successfully ran an industrial business site whilst Jane returned to teaching.

 

A life-changing decision by George to cycle 4,000 miles across the USA with our son, raising thousands of pounds for the Royal British Legion's Battle Back Centre, gave us the impetus to change direction. 

Deciding that we wanted to work for ourselves in providing a high quality sweep service at the 'Kohl' face, where we could use our core values of safety, integrity and reliability to help others, led to George training and qualifying with the highly regarded Guild of Master Chimney Sweeps, HETAS and Rotary Power Sweeping.
