Hi -
I need to get my chimney swept - can anyone give me an indication of the costs I can expect? The first quote I have received is £70, Im just waiting for some more quotes to come in...
Any recommendations?
Thanks!

Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.

I ended up paying £50 and was very happy with the serviceI got. I got 6 quotes ranging from £50-£90.Man plans and God laughs...Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry.

Hello Ladyhawk - could you let me know the company you were happy with (by PM if necessary).
I too am in North London and need a chminey sweep.
Thank you!0 -
Just as a matter of interest, is it not a straigtforward job to do it yourself, if need be, by hiring rods and brush.
As a kid I remember my father doing it, while my mum and I held an old sheet, with a small hole in the middle around the fireplace.0 -

i'm not sure i'd want to diy, pay for the hire of rods etc & end up with soot all over the carpet & room, sounds like £50 well spent to meI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0 -
Sorry to hijack the thread but I figure it's pretty relevant. If I'm moving into a new property and the previous owners haven't used the fireplaces, is a simple sweep enough to get it into working condition again?0
