Chimney sweeps

I bought my own brush & rods, very reasonable.

I’m not saying I’m as good as a professional, but I can sweep my chimney as often as I like, and when I like

Thanks for the reply. Something I need to consider,  I'm also thinking of the insurance which someone told me can have an impact on the policy if your unfortunate to have a chimney fire.

Thank

Hi Mal, in the 20+ years I’ve been here, I never heard of a log burner chimney fire!

My friend is an insurance agent in Albox, whilst in town this morning told him what you’d been told about insurance, “nonsense” he said, and he told me that the only ‘chimney fire claim’ he’d heard about was not a metal chimney, but a brick one in an old house, and the claim was successful 

That is great news and putmy mind at ease.  I recently moved her with my wife so everything a little bit strange at the moment but loving the lifestyle 😎

Thanks again 

Mal

Chimney fires are very common. I don't have figures for Spain but over 2500 a year in the UK. It doesn't matter if it is an old brick Chimney or a steel prefabricated flue, it's the excess soot that catches fire, not the material that the flue is made of. It is possible to sweep your own Chimney. I don't know about insurance in Spain but I do know insurance companies worldwide will try and get out of paying a claim if possible. My advice is try your best to get a professional sweep.

Thank you Mike for your reply much appreciated.

I will keep trying to get someone to check it out just to be on the safe side. 

Thanks

I think mine came from Long's, but I think most good ferreterias will have them.
