About us
Thomas Bannister launched Stovely in 2017 to offer a range of specialised chimney sweep and repair services to the solid-fuel appliance owners of Oxfordshire. He was first introduced to the inner workings of woodburning stoves during his time assisting a HETAS registered installer on their rounds, where he discovered an affinity for the physical, problem solving work.
Since completing the APICS training and earning his professional registration as a HETAS Approved Sweep and Service Technician, Thomas has worked on hundreds, if not thousands,
of stoves across Oxfordshire.
Stovely tackles all aspects of sweeping, whether it’s an annual visit, a pre-installation sweep, or servicing and repairing. Our birds’ nest removal and CCTV inspection means we can ensure every chimney is operating at maximum efficiency and safety.
2024 marks an exciting milestone for Stovely. Thomas is thrilled to have been able to bring in a second member of staff
for the very first time; his daughter, Edith.
They are already making a great team!
