I'm fairly sure my insurance policy requires flues to be swept annually (would need to double check). But even if it doesn't, its a sure bet the insurance Co would try to wriggle out of paying a claim in the event of a chimney fire. For the sake of £45, I'd rather not give them the chance.

I think I made it clear in my previous posts that I am a great believer in using a professional sweep, so, of course, I agree that it is worth the price. However, It is important that myths and legends are laid to rest when misleading.

I know a lot of you will say tut tut but hubby fitted the fire himself including all the chimney stuff. It's been checked and signed off.


The lounge is an extension and the chimney was built for a multifuel burner. The annoying bit was that we weren't allowed to put the chimney brest on the outside of the building so it annoyingly sticks out in the lounge lol.

If the installation has been signed off as conforming to building regulations, no fair minded person would quibble, I'd have thought. I take my hat off to anyone who has he skill to do a job like that.
