We have just had our chimney sweeped this week. As usual we got an excellant service from Paul who has been coming for the last few years .We have used other companies in the past but in our opnion the service offered by Paul is the best . In short we would not trust any other company to sweep the chimney .
We also use Pearsons for our coal delivery for the last 7 years never had any issues , We normally email Jane and by magic our coal bunker is restocked.

Thank you for the review. Paul is brilliant at sweeping and is a great addition to the Pearsons team. As is Jane (The Queen of Coal), with her product knowledge and her customer service. We can't thank you enough for taking the time to review us. #pearsonsofduns

Very good all round

Very happy with Pearsons of Duns and we are repeat customers. Good range of fuel on offer. Website easy to navigate and fuel always delivered as promised. Delivery man tips it out into bunker for us. Nothing to fault.

Solid fuel deliveries

Deliveries to my area are fortnightly on Mondays. Order by the preceding Friday, and your fuel arrives like clockwork on the following Monday. The office staff who take your order are always polite, cheerful and helpful. Likewise the driver who puts your fuel in your bunker. The five stars are well deserved.

Terrible company

Awful company. Bought a new bagging machine which customers are now paying inflated prices to cover the cost of their purchase. Poor delivery service. Awful customer service experience. They bought out the competition to gain a monopoly so they can now treat customers appallingly with no recourse.

Pearson's review

We've been using Pearsons for about four years now and always been impressed. Deliveries come on time, when the company say they will, and any queries are always answered in good time. Can't recommend them enough. Many thanks!

Placed an order for 12 sealed bags 50kg each driver had 12 open bags on the truck plus 24 25kg bags in other words double our order, the driver was very good and left 6 open bags and 12 closed 25kg bags and took the excess away. Obviously confusion with the order as we were charged the correct amount.
