The Backes team
WHO WE ARE01

More than the jobs we take on

Whether it’s flue system renovation, chimney cleaning, roof and solar panel cleaning or custom stove building – our standard is always the same: we want to create solutions that are reliable, clean and sustainable.

Although our company is still young, we bring many years of experience in the trade. Our team is made up of qualified professionals who bring their knowledge, experience and passion to the job site every single day.

We firmly believe that good work doesn’t come from expertise and modern technology alone – above all, it comes from people who carry out their profession with a sense of responsibility.

For us, it’s not just about the jobs we take on, but about the people behind them. We want our customers to feel they’re in good hands – from the first contact through the consultation to the finished work.

A friendly approach, dependability and a spotless result are as much a part of our craft as precision and quality.

As a locally rooted company, we want to be more than just a service provider. We want to build trust, create long-term relationships and make a positive contribution to our region.

Reliable

One point of contact who listens, gives honest advice and carries out the work with care.

Clean

A spotless result and a tidy site, every single time – that’s part of the craft.

Sustainable

Solutions built to last – for your home, our team and our region.

Craftsmanship doesn’t just mean repairing or building something. Craftsmanship means responsibility – towards our customers, our employees and our community

OUR FOUNDING STORY02

The idea of making craftsmanship personal again

The founding of Backes Jos in October 2024 grew out of a simple conviction: good craftsmanship means more than just technically sound work.

Jos Marco Backes wanted to build a company where the focus isn’t only on technical performance, but also on the people behind it.

In many areas of the trades, you find that what customers are really looking for is one thing above all: trust. They want a single point of contact who listens, gives honest advice and carries out their work with care. That’s exactly where we wanted to make a difference.

From the very beginning, our ambition has been to combine high-quality craftsmanship with a personal approach. We don’t want our customers to feel like just another job – we want them to be seen as people.

To achieve this, we rely on a combination of experience, modern organisation and genuine passion for our craft. For us, quality doesn’t come from expertise and good tools alone, but also from reliability, clean work and treating one another with respect.

Since our founding, we have been developing Backes Jos step by step – with a strong team, clear values and the goal of showing our customers, day after day, that professional craftsmanship and humanity belong together.

Patrick Batista Google - Feb 2026 Review translated from French
After an issue with our Buderus boiler, we contacted Mr. Backes to find the cause of the problem. Once on site, he spotted the problem right away, and in less than a week the boiler issue (coming from the chimney flue) was resolved. Super responsive, kind, and absolutely recommended for any chimney sweeping work. Thank you.

I can only recommend this company. Value for money, careful work, exemplary staff, a boss who listens to his customers, punctuality and much more. In short, this company is top-notch and deserves every one of its stars. Personally, I would give even more, that's how convinced I am. Well done for your work!
