I have a friend who is a chimney sweep... His prices start at £40. There is good money in it.

Takes a lot of work to build up though because the repeat work is only every 6 - 12 months!

We tried it; just the once. WFP was useless; we spent a fortnight trying to rince soot from the brush and the custy's carpets were soaked through!!!

You were obviously using too much water. Turn the flow down next time ;)

Being a tight git, i did my own. Never again , i made hell of a mess  ::)
It went every where! could'nt get it out of the carpet  :P
I tried to tape a empty sack to the fire place with a slit cut in the middle for the pole to poke through. Umm  the sack fell of  :o and you can picture the rest , red and black carpet just don't look right.

from my point of view it's the best 40 quid i pay each yr
