Chimney Sweeps

Anyone ever used one?

 

Anyone decent?

 

How much do they normally charge?

I used one but not to sweep my chimneys - he stuck a couple of bird guards on the chimneys. He was ace - £60 for 3 and he got me to light a smoke bomb when he was on the roof. Happy days

 

He didn't sing or dance though and that was a disappointment.

I was quoted £50 for one, but decided to get both done for £80.  I was only having them cleaned so there would be less mess when I knocked into them.  There was hardly any mess and it only took half an hour.  I ended up feeling robbed :D

 

I googled Chimney Sweeps and ended up comparing them on Yell.com.

Ha those smoke bombs are ace. I let one go when I was having my chimney checked for leaks

 

it was like being a 10 year old again

My regular charges 40 notes. No mess, good guy

Why pay someone when the jolly man in a red suit will do the job for nowt soon?

Vic Crompton Ltd (Chorley) did a job for me once- seemed ok

I just send the kids up mine, or some of NB's Bangladeshi slaves.

Clear Flue in Rossendale do mine, I think it's £70, does a good job

Can you send me his number please H?

Be a few hours trek from H's manor to the Royal Borough mate, he's not local.

If he's good enough, he's close enough.

If you dont burn wood you don't need it sweeping so often. I hope.

If he's good enough, he's close enough.

Think there's a nest in mine.

Is once every two years enough or dangerous?

There's a rat in my kitchen.

Some folk don't have them done once in ten years!

They do suffer more chimney fires than most though. :-)

I'm going to fix that rat, that's what I'm going to do.

Lift your knee's up step in time, never need a reason never need a rhyme :)
