We opened up our fireplace a month or so ago and after some cosmetic work and having it both swept and tested by a certified sweep we used it for the first time last night and all was well.
I'd be having words with your 'certified sweep'.0 -
Put in a stove rather than a fireplace - much more efficient and cleaner too. And as you get that done, have the chimney flue lined with a stinless steel flue.

The sweep we used checked the bedrooms, built in wardrobes either side of the chimney breast and also our loft for smoke before he would say it was safe for us to get a fire going again in the fireplace.0
